WMTS TRANSCEIVERS PatientNet Operator’s Manual, v1.04, 10001001-003, Revision B 183 All information contained herein is subject to the rights and restrictions on the title page. WMTS TRANSCEIVERS Note:The information in this section is only applicable for Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS). About Transceivers Wireless Medical Telemetry Services (WMTS) Remote Transceivers provide the link between the patient and the Central Station through the newly approved 608 - 614 MHz Medical Telemetry frequency band. The ambulatory and bedside device trans- ceivers communicate data to the Central Station through the Access Point transceiver. In addition, the transceivers are capable of receiving control commands for self-use or connection transfer. The PatientNet ambulatory transceiver is the DT-4500. This transceiver is worn by the patient and usually carried in a gown pocket or pouch, and used with a 3, 4, or 5-wire leadset connected to the electrodes on the patient. The DT-4500 is IPX7 compliant, so it can be submerged in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. The DT-7000 and DT-7001 are the PatientNet bedside-device transceivers and are physically connected to bedside monitors (other manufacturers’ bedside monitors and NPB 7200 series ventilator). The DR-10000 Access Point transceiver collects data from the ambulatory and bed- side transceivers, sends that data to the Central Station, and transmits control data to the transceiver devices. WARNING: Remove transceivers from patients before MRI and CAT scan procedures, and store the transceivers outside the room where such equipment is located. Close proximity to MRI or CAT scan equipment may result in damage to transceivers. Programming Transceivers Before a transceiver can be used with the PatientNet System, it must first be pro- grammed with a Network Number and Monitor I.D. number to match the correspond- ing Central Station. Consult your facility’s system administrator to perform these functions. WARNING: When programming the DT-4500 through the External Serial Device (I/O) con- nector, it must be disconnected from the patient. The accessory connector shall be kept covered when not in use with the supplied protective cover. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to excessive voltages and cur- rents being applied to the patient, resulting in cardiac arrest. The corresponding Central Station must also be programmed to this Network Number and Monitor Identification number. If you have any questions about the programming status, contact your system adminis- trator. WMTS TRANSCEIVERS 184 PatientNet Operator’s Manual, v1.04, 10001001-003, Revision B All information contained herein is subject to the rights and restrictions on the title page. Displaying Transceiver Status You can view transceiver status on the Central Station, but not on the PatientNet Viewers (also known as the IRVS and RVS). 1. Press System on the Main screen. 2. Press OpenNet button on the Passcode screen to display the OpenNet Status screen (fig. 90). Fig. 90.

Impedance Values The DT-4500 Ambulatory Transceivers electrode impedance values, which are displayed on the OpenNet Transceiver Status screen, indicate the quality of the signal connection and are not the actual impedance values that are measured by the system. The electrode impedance values range from 100 to 200 (optimal). The typical values range between 180 and 200. If the electrode’s impedance value is greater than the defined Quality Threshold value, then its LED is illuminated. The DT-4500 stores the Quality Threshold value and uses this value to determine whether or not the electrode LED should be illuminated when the Attendant Present buttons are pressed. See Figure 91 on page 190 for details on the DT-4500 Buttons and LED indicators. Note:A Lead Off alarm will occur when an electrode’s impedance value drops to 150 (150 is the default Loose Lead Threshold value). User Warnings, Cautions, and Notes Before operating the WMTS transceivers, read and follow all warnings and cautions presented in this section. Warnings 1. Do not use the output of the DT-4500 as a synchronization source for car- diac defibrillation. Delays in presentation of the R-Wave may be as much as 40 milliseconds. 2. Do not monitor pacer patients with a 3 wire leadset when reliable pacer detection is required. Pacer pulse detection can be erratic when only a single vector is monitored. Always use a 5 wire leadset when reliable pacer detection is required. 3. The DT-4500 is a type BF patient applied device. It is not suitable for direct cardiac application, for use in the operating room, or during car- diac surgery. Use in these environments could cause hazardous voltages and currents bein…

Johnson RE: GE Medical Systems Information Technologies FCC ID: OU507APFH-AP Mr. Johnson: Thank you for your letter of September 28, 2007, detailing your comments regarding the above referenced application. I have included your comments in my response as reference. After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. 1) Due to various concerns recently seen about proper authority being given to others for FCC and/or IC matters, the agency letter should be signed by someone traceable to have the proper authority. For instance, the FCC site shows Jeff Wells as the correct contact of authority for FCC matters. Therefore the agency letters should be signed by this contact or alternatively a letter showing who he has “deputized” to sign on his behalf may be provided as well (i.e. Matthew Kindschi). Please correct. Corrected and Uploaded with additional Correspondence. 2) Antenna information appears to discuss 2 antenna, but test photographs appear to suggest 3 configurations. Kindly explain, correct, and provide additional external photographs to document the various antennas. GE Medical chooses to remove the patch antenna from the evaluation. All attachments now specify 2 antennas. Antenna Photos added to external Photos and uploaded. 3) Please provide bottom view photographs of the RF module that are clear. Uploaded 4) The Parts list and schematics should be provided for the TX portion of the device. Please provide. Uploaded 5) A tune up procedure does not appear to be provided. Uploaded 3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com 6) Kindly provide a users manual exhibit. Uploaded 7) Please review test report cited site numbers. I believe these are incorrect. Corrected and Uploaded 8) Block diagram in the report suggests cables were present that were not seen in the test photos. Please review. Cables were present during testing. Unfortunately, the site began breakdown and the cables were inadvertently left off the photos. 9) FYI...In the future, please take test photographs closer to the table. Cable placement and other considerations can not adequately be seen. Noted 10) Test instrumentation should include appropriate calibration data. Provided 11) Unit does not appear to be labeled as required by 95.1109. Label Uploaded 12) Sub-band tables shown do not appear to stay within the sub bands cited. Please review. Corrected 13) Please explain if the device was hop-stopped during QP measurements. Yes. The unit was hop stopped on the Fundamental frequencies reported. 14) There is a concern regarding the patch data. The patch is the highest gain antenna, yet the data is over 20 dB lower at the fundamental. This leads to a concern about the validity of the configuration or if the device was operating properly. Please review. GE Medical chooses to remove the patch antenna from the evaluation. All attachments now specify 2 antennas. 15) Please review sample calculation on page 24. Corrected and Uploaded 16) Digital device emissions are normally NOT tested without an antenna attached as shown in the report. If so, then 15.111 must be applied. Testing was repeated with the antenna and data is confirmed. 3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com 17) Is the frequency tolerance given on the 731 form correct (i.e. ppm vs. Hz vs %) Corrected and Uploaded 18) Please provide appropriate occupied bandwidth measurements (i.e. 99% bandwidth or 26 dB relative to in band power).

7.0 RF Safety Requirements to 2.1091/95.1125 for Mobile Transmitters Part 95 transmitters are considered categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation as given in 47 CFR 2.1091. However, the following information is presented to prove compliance with the limits. Power Output The EUT’s maximum output power as measured directly from the transmitter module is +12.2 dBm (16.7 mW). The EUT may utilize 2 different types of antenna’s (monopole @ 0 dBi, Circular Polarization Patch, -2.0 dBi). Frequency of Fundamental (MHz) Measurement (Watt)* Antenna Gain (dBi) P EIRP (Watt) 608.6656- 612.898133 0.0167 0.0 0.0167 MPE Calculations The limits for this unit (uncontrolled exposure) are 0.4 mW/cm 2 . Taking the RF Density Field Equation: S = (EIRP in mW)/(4πR 2 ) and solving for Spectrum Density S at 20 cm S = (16.7)/4*π* 20 2 S = 16.7/5026.55 Solving the above equation yields S = 0.003 mW/cm 2 Since the EUT is designed only for mobile applic ations (where the expected separation distance between antenna and humans is greater than 20 cm), all manual instructions have specified 20 cm as the minimum exposure distance.

The 07APFH-AP is a wireless Access Point (AP) designed for use in medical monitoring applications. The 07APFH-AP receives patient monitoring data from similar radios attached to the patients in the hospital. The 07APFH-AP is linked to other 07APFH-AP through a 10Base-T Ethernet backbone. This backbone allows the AP's to pass patient data back to the end user of the system - a nurses monitoring station. The 07APFH-AP is composed of a 608-614 MHz wireless transceiver and Ethernet conversion circuitry that passes data from the transceiver to the Ethernet backbone. The 07APFH-AP may operate with three different types of antennas: a 0 dBi monopole to provide omni-directional coverage, a +2 dBi patch antenna to provide unidirectional coverage, and a -2 dBi Circular polarization Patch. The unit requires external DC power but has its own internal voltage regulation. The 07APFH-AP is self contained in a metal package and is designed to be installed on the ceiling of a hospital hallway. FCC ID: OU507APFH-AP Page 7 of 34 Related Submittal(s)/Grant(s) None FCC ID: OU507APFH-AP Page 8 of 34 SECTION 2 TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS FCC ID: OU507APFH-AP Page 9 of 34 TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS Configuration of Tested System Since Part 95 stipulates radiated field strength limits and not dBc limits. Therefore as allowed by 2.947(a)(3), the sample was tested per ANSI C63.4, Methods of Measurement from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (2003). Please note that the FCC has also shown a history of accepting other applications using ANSI C63.4 as the test methodology for devices tested under 95.1115. Conducted and radiated emissions data were taken with the test receiver or spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth adjusted to 9 kHz and 120 kHz, respectively. All measurements are peak unless stated otherwise. The video filter associated with the spectrum analyzer was off throughout the evaluation process. Interconnecting cables were manipulated as necessary to maximize emissions. A block diagram of the tested system is shown in Figure 1. Test configuration photographs for spurious and fundamental emissions are shown in Figure 2. Test Facility Testing was performed at US Tech's measurement facility at 3505 Francis Circle, Alpharetta, GA. This site has been fully described and registered with the FCC, under designation number US5117. Additionally this site has also been fully described and submitted to Industry Canada (IC), and has been approved under file number 2982A-1. Modifications No modifications were made to the EUT for compliance with FCC Part 95. Test Equipment Table 2 describes test equipment used to evaluate this product.
