DESCRIPTION OF TEST SAMPLE Brand Name Zephyr Technology Model Number BioHarness 3 Product Vital Signs Monitoring Device Manufacturer Zephyr Technology Country of Origin United States of America Serial Number Sample not serialized 802.15.4 FCC ID TFB-PROFLEX1 BT Module FCC ID T7V1315 New FCC ID VZ6-BH3 Band of Operation: 2400 to 2483.5 MHz 802.15.4 Band: 2405 to 2475 MHz. 15 channels with 5 MHz spacing Test Frequencies: 2405, 2440, 2475 MHz Rated Conducted Power: 0.003 W (+15 dBm) Modulation Type: GFSK, 2 Mbps data rate Bluetooth: 2402 to 2480 MHz. 79 channels with 1 MHz spacing Rated Conducted Power: Not known Antenna Type: Integral antenna Power Supply: Internal 3 Vdc battery Ports: Portable device has no external ports A Bluetooth module was utilised which has previous been tested and found to be compliant. A 802.15.4 module has been used but it has been modified by the client. The client advises that the BioHarness 802.15.4 transmitter transmits 2.5 ms of data every 2.5 seconds approximately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 5 of 21 Test Report No 120441.1 20 th June 2012 This report may not be reproduced except in full. The Zephyr Technologies BioHarness 3 system allows users to remotely monitor the physiological status of multiple subjects. Subjects wear a BioHarness on their torso using a special garment strap that allows the devices to measure heart rate and respiration rate. The BioHarness then transmits this physiological data via Bluetooth and / or 802.15.4 to a PC. The system is designed to allow users to make real-time assessments about the health and safety of teams working under strenuous and potentially hazardous conditions. The systems have applications in emergency response and defence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 21 Test Report No 120441.1 20 th June 2012 This report may not be reproduced except in full. 5. AT T E S TAT I ON This report describes the tests and measurements performed for the purpose of determining compliance with the specification with the following conditions: The client selected the test sample. The report relates only to the sample tested. This report does not contain corrections or erasures.
