Additional Photos have been provided and are included in the uploaded Revised Internal Photos document (last 2 pages). 2. The FCC ID has been corrected in the manual and the revised manual uploaded. 3. Additional measurements have been taken to address the peak measurement issue. The report has been revised and Rev B has been uploaded. The modulation type is Continuous Wave Amplitude Burst Modulation. 4. The ENS therapy stimulation does not have any bearing on RF output levels. Even though the programmer can adjust ENS parameters, the RF output isn't affected because it's just commands that are being transmitted from the programmer to the ENS. 5. The Test Report indicates 36 dB/decade and seems to be correct from our Engineer's calculation. Please let us know if you require any further information. Thank you.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 April 21, 2005 RE: Medtronic Inc. FCC ID: LF537021 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) It is uncertain where the antenna of this device is located. Please provide a photographs or similar diagram that shows the placement of the antenna. 2) The FCC ID given in the manual is incorrect. 3) It appears the fundamental was measured in average mode. Please note that there is also a limit on the peak emissions that is 20 dB above the average limit (15.35). It is also unsure of what type of modulation was present but information in the operational description suggests this will be pulsed emissions. Therefore the FCC expects the device to have been measured in peak mode and corrected mathematically for average. Please provide further information as necessary. For instance, what was the peak to average ratio. What type of modulation was present. Note that the operational description (section 1.4.1) mentions pulse duration and pulse position as possible encoding schemes. This would suggest that peak emissions corrected for worse case average factors should have been applied. 4) The device appears to have pulse width and amplitude adjustments from the programmer. How do these settings affect the RF output (waveform)? Are these sent only as data commands to the stimulation device or is the RF envelope affected? For instance is a programming of the amplitude of the stimulation device accomplished by sending data to the stimulation device, or does the programmer TX waveform actually change amplitude as well. Note it appears from information in the operational description that the duty cycle is affected directly based upon the duty cycle entered in the programmer and that the amplitude may also vary according to programming. The device should have been tested at maximum RF output levels as well as maximum duty cycle. Please explain. 5) It appears that the extrapolation of this device would be 34 dB per decade and not 48 dB per decade. Please review and correct as necessary. Timothy R. Johnson Examining Engineer mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application.
