Medical Telemetry
Precautions about the Installation
 The medical institution (hereinafter referred as "Institution" ) must decide the telemetry installation plan for
the medical institution in order to prevent interference between transmitters (telemetry based on destination
country's radio law). When telemetry has already been installed and been used, radio format, frequency, and
antenna power are required to be examined to prevent interference.
 When using telemetry which requires zone location, the institution is to set up the zones as an operation unit
for each transmitter to prevent electronic interference between telemetry throughout the Institution.
 When using telemetry which requires zone location, display and identify each prepared zone in the equipment.

When laying receiver antenna for each transmitter, the Institution has to examine the installation so that
electronic interference does not occur.

Based on the above examination result, the Institution should place each receiver antenna as required.
Precautions about the Management
 The institution appoints a person to manage the wireless channels for the whole medical institution. And when
using telemetry which requires zone location, the Institution should nominate a person to manage the wireless
channels in each zone (a "Coordinator" ). However, when using such telemetry in a local medical institution,
one person can perform both functions.
 Select a telemetry coordinator who understands the characteristics and functionality of telemetry systems, and
is skilled in operating telemetry.
 When installing telemetry, the Coordinators have to understand the precautions for use of the telemetry in
advance.
 The Coordinator takes responsibility of wireless channel management and transmitter storage for the whole
Institution by giving proper instruction.
 The Coordinator should create a management log (hereinafter referred to as the "log" ), which contains a list
of the management status of the wireless channels for the whole Institution. When changing a wireless channel,
register it in the log and give proper instructions to the user.
 The Coordinator assumes responsibility for managing the wireless channels, storing, and managing telemetry.
 The Coordinator assigns the transmitter to the user, and provides enough education for use inside the zone.
 The telemetry user verifies operation of the transmitter/receiver before use.
 The telemetry user, if using the telemetry in a zone location, follows the instructions of the Coordinator for the
zone and gives instructions to the patient if required.
 When interference or breakdown occurs in telemetry communication, the user is required to inform the
Coordinators of the problems. The Coordinators are to deal with the problem properly and/or contact their
nearest Fukuda Denshi representative for service.
