Introduction
ULP-AMI/ULP-AMI-P equipment in the MICS service is an evolving technology, available worldwide in the medical
field, that provides high speed communications capability between individuals with AIMDs and medical practitioners
engaged in utilizing these AIMDs for the purposes of diagnosing and delivering therapy to individuals with various
illnesses. Equipment in the MICS service consists of active medical implants that communicate to other active medical
implants and/or to ULP-AMI-P as e.g. external programmer/control transmitters.
The present document includes methods of measurement for Ultra Low Power Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI)
and Peripherals (ULP-AMI-P), fitted with antenna connector and/or integral antenna. Equipment designed for use with
an integral antenna may be supplied with a temporary or permanent internal connector for the purpose of testing,
providing the characteristics being measured are not expected to be affected.
If equipment, which is available on the market, is required to be checked it should be tested in accordance with the
methods of measurement specified in the present document.
Clauses 1 through 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions, symbols and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 provides the technical requirements specifications, limits and conformance relative to transmitter, receiver and
spectrum access.
Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 specify the conditions for testing of the equipment and interpretation of the measurement results
with the maximum measurement uncertainty values.
Clause 5.3.7 specifies the required measurement methods. In particular clause 5.3.7.1 describes the monitoring system
performance specifications that have been chosen to mini

Introduction
ULP-AMI/ULP-AMI-P equipment in the MICS service is an evolving technology, available worldwide in the medical
field, that provides high speed communications capability between individuals with AIMDs and medical practitioners
engaged in utilizing these AIMDs for the purposes of diagnosing and delivering therapy to individuals with various
illnesses. Equipment in the MICS service consists of active medical implants that communicate to other active medical
implants and/or to ULP-AMI-P as e.g. external programmer/control transmitters.

The present document includes methods of measurement for Ultra Low Power Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI)
and Peripherals (ULP-AMI-P), fitted with antenna connector and/or integral antenna. Equipment designed for use with
an integral antenna may be supplied with a temporary or permanent internal connector for the purpose of testing,
providing the characteristics being measured are not expected to be affected.
If equipment, which is available on the market, is required to be checked it should be tested in accordance with the
methods of measurement specified in the present document.
Clauses 1 through 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions, symbols and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 provides the technical requirements specifications, limits and conformance relative to transmitter, receiver and
spectrum access.
Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 specify the conditions for testing of the equipment and interpretation of the measurement results
with the maximum measurement uncertainty values.
Clause 5.3.7 specifies the required measurement methods. In particular clause 5.3.7.1 describes the monitoring system
performance specifications that have been chosen to minimize harmful interference to other equipment or services and
minimize the potential for disturbance to this equipment from ambient sources or other medical device users in the
band.
Annex A (normative) provides the relationship between the present document and the essential requirements of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2].
Annex B (normative) provides specifications concerning radiated measurements.
Annex C (normative) provides technical performance of the spectrum analyser.
Annex D (informative) bibliography; provides additional information.
