Philips IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure - Required FCC Registration; 2.4 Ghz ITS Bandwidth

Defined ITS Bandwidth
IntelliVue Telemetry System Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide 1-15
in the 1427-1429 MHz band. Table 1-6 lists the 1.4GHz WMTS channels available
for use in “carved-out areas.”
Required FCC
Registration
The FCC (Section 95.1111 of the FCC Rules) requires that all WMTS transmitters be
registered with the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE). If a
hospital doesn’t register, not only is it subject to being interfered with, but the FCC
can also shut down its telemetry system.
Hospitals using the IntelliVue telemetry System must register all 1.4 GHz patient-
worn transceivers, wireless bedside monitors, and Access Points and Remote
Antennas.
Site registration with the frequency coordinator, American Society for Healthcare
Engineering (ASHE), is only required once and can be done online (www.ashe.org).
The frequencies and number of devices in use must be logged with the frequency
coordinator.
2.4 GHz ITS Bandwidth
Outside of the United States, the IntelliVue Telemetry System uses RF energy in the
2.4 GHz frequency space across 48 radio channels assigned from 2401.066 MHz
to 2482.272 MHz, with a channel spacing of 1.728 MHz.
Table 1-7 lists the 2.4 GHz ITS channels.
