ETSI ETSI EN 301 489-29 V2.2.1 (2019-04)6 1 Scope The present document together with ETSI 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 applies to ULP-AMI, ULP-AMD, ULP-BWD, ULP-AMD-P and ULP-AMI-P devices with RF power levels ranging up to 25 µW ERP and intended for operation in the frequency range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz in accordance with the provisions of annex 12, band b) and band c), to CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.3]. Definitions of such ULP-AMI, ULP-AMD, ULP-BWD, ULP-AMD-P and ULP-AMI-P radio devices are found in the following functional radio standard: • ETSI EN 302 537 [2]: "Ultra Low Power Medical Data Service (MEDS) Systems operating in the frequency range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz; Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]". In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present document and ETSI 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 ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any special conditions included in the present document. The present document, together with ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], are aimed to cover requirements to demonstrate an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility. 2 References 2.1 Normative references References are specific, identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number.

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. 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 C for additional details. The provisions of annex C 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 4.2.0 General The provisions of the ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply. 4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters The provisions of the ETSI 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 (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 RF output of transmitters 4.2.2.0 General The provisions of the ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply with the following modification: • The manufacturer may provide a suitable companion receiver or other equipment that can be used to set up a communications link and/or to receive messages.

1 Scope
The present document together with ETSI 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 applies to ULP-AMI, ULP-AMD, ULP-BWD, ULP-AMD-P and ULP-AMI-P devices with RF
power levels ranging up to 25 µW ERP and intended for operation in the frequency range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and
405 MHz to 406 MHz in accordance with the provisions of annex 12, band b) and band c), to
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.3]. Definitions of such ULP-AMI, ULP-AMD, ULP-BWD, ULP-AMD-P and ULP-AMI-P
radio devices are found in the following functional radio standard:
• ETSI EN 302 537 [2]: "Ultra Low Power Medical Data Service (MEDS) Systems operating in the frequency
range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz; Harmonised Standard covering the essential
requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]".
In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present
document and ETSI 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 ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any special conditions included in the present document.
The present document, together with ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], are aimed to cover requirements to demonstrate an
adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility.

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of the ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as
appropriate. 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.
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 C for additional details. The provisions of annex C 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.
