title: Wireless medical telemetry service. Federal Communications Commission. Final rule.
abstract: This document allocates new spectrum and establishes rules for a Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) that allows potentially life-critical equipment to operate on an interference-protected basis.  Medical telemetry equipment is used in hospitals and health care facilities to transmit patient measurement data, such as pulse and respiration rates to a nearby receiver, permitting greater patient mobility and increased comfort.  This action will increase the reliability of medical telemetry equipment.
