13 Operating parameters for medical telemetry and telecommand transmitters
For Table 3, each class of radiocommunications transmitter is authorised only where it relates to either or both: (a) medical telemetry; or (b) medical telecommand.
Note: The concepts of telecommand and telemetry are explained in the Radio Regulations, which are available, free of charge, from the International Telecommunication Union’s website at www.itu.int.

Note 1: The systems and associated medical communications systems transmitters specified in table items 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 may require marketing approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Note 2: Operation of a radiocommunications transmitter that complies with EN 303 520, Short Range Devices (SRD); Ultra Low Power (ULP) wireless medical capsule endoscopy devices operating in the band 430 MHz to 440 MHz; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum, published by ETSI, will generally comply with the limitations specified in table item 4. EN 303 520 is available, free of charge, from ETSI’s website at .
