ETSI ETSI EN 301 489-29 V1.1.1 (2009-02)6 1 Scope The present document together with EN 301 489-1 [1], covers the assessment of all radio transceivers associated with Ultra Low Power Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMIs), Ultra Low Power Active Medical Devices (ULP-AMDs), Ultra Low Power Body Worn Devices (ULP-BWDs) and associated Ultra Low Power Active Medical Implant Peripherals (ULP-AMI-Ps), Ultra Low Power Active Medical Device Peripherals (ULP-AMD-Ps) in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
The radio link may be part of life supporting or non life supporting equipment and can be classified independently of the classification of the medical portion of the device. The present document covers the EMC requirements for the radio functions of ultra low power implanted, body worn and associated ultra low power peripheral devices. Technical specifications related to the antenna port and emissions from the enclosure port of these radio system devices are not included in the present document. Such technical specifications are found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum. The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment, and performance criteria for the following equipment, ULP-AMIs, ULP-AMDs, ULP-BWDs, and associated peripheral devices
ULP-AMI-Ps and ULP-AMD-Ps. Definitions of types of the above equipment that are covered by the present document are given in annex A. In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present document and EN 301 489-1 [1], the provisions of the present document take precedence. The environmental classification and the emission and immunity requirements used in the present document are as stated in the EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any special conditions included in the present document. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following cases:

Further product related test conditions for ULP-AMI, ULP-AMI-P, ULP-BWD, ULP-AMD and ULP-AMD-P are specified in the present document. 4.1 General For emission and immunity tests the normal test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document, clauses 4.1 to 4.5 shall apply. Whenever the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner typical of normal intended use, unless otherwise specified. If the EUT can be used with several types of antenna the test shall be repeated for each type of antenna. ULP-AMI devices (active medical implants) and ULP-BWD (body worn devices) are designed to be implanted within or worn in very close proximity to a human body. Implant radio systems are isolated from disturbances by the surrounding body tissue and body worn devices are subject to field distortions due to the proximity of the body. In order to adequately assess the EMC characteristics of ULP-AMI and ULP-BWD devices , the use of a simulated man is necessary. See annex B for additional details. The provisions of annex B are intended to provide an operational environment that simulates, to the extent possible, actual usage conditions for these devices. It is necessary to use this special fixture as described in annex B when making radiated emission measurements and immunity tests with radiated RF fields. 4.2 Arrangements for test signals The provisions of the EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply. 4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of the transmitter The provisions of the EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply with the following modifications: • The transmitter shall be modulated with normal test modulation as specified for that type of equipment (see clause 4.5). Where transmitters do not have a modulation input port, the internal equipment modulation shall be used. 4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the output of the transmitter The provisions of the EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply with the following modification: • The provider may provide a suitable companion receiver or other equipment that can be used to set up a communications link and/or to receive messages. 4.2.2.1 ULP- AMI and ULP-BWD transmitters For ULP-AMI and ULP-BWD transmitters the test fixture described in annex B shall be used: • The provider shall provide a suitable receiver or other equipment that can be used to monitor the medical device communications link. 4.2.2.2 ULP-AMI-P, ULP-AMD and ULP-AMD-P transmitters The provisions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply with the following modifications: • ULP-AMI-P, ULP-AMD and ULP-AMD-P devices are designed to be used external to a human body; • the provider shall provide a suitable receiver or other equipment that can be used to monitor the medical system communications link.

In this case all EUTs shall be located in their respective test environment and exposed simultaneously to the EMC phenomena. 4.3 Exclusion bands The emission measurement and immunity test exclusions are referred to as "exclusion bands" and are defined in the clauses 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 of the present document. The frequencies on which the EUT(s) is(are) intended to operate, shall be excluded from conducted and radiated RF immunity tests. The frequencies on which the transmitter part of the EUT(s) is(are) intended to operate shall be excluded from emission measurements when performed in transmit mode of operation. During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of the equipment covered by the present document. 4.3.1 Exclusion bands for receivers The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers) is determined as follows: - For receivers capable of operati
