x Model 340 Telemetry System Revision A2006899-001Overview of Telemetry Systems: About Your SystemAbout Your SystemDue to continuing product innovations, there are three versions of the Model 340 Telemetry System in hospitals today. All three versions operate identically from a user’s perspective. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this manual applies to all three devices.Model 340 Original ReleaseThe first release of the Model 340 Telemetry System operates in the frequency range 430–470 MHz.Model 340 PlusThe Model 340 Plus also operates in the frequency range 430–470 MHz offering additional channel numbers than the original Model 340. In addition, the Model 340 Plus offers flexibility by allowing factory re-programming to an alternative channel number should interference become a factor in your location.Model 340MThe Model 340M operates in the frequency range 608–614 MHz where the “M” indicates “medical”. The Model 340M complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules for Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS). In June 2000, the FCC allocated a new spectrum allowing potentially life-critical equipment to operate on an interference-protected basis. Refer to “Wireless Medical Telemetry Service” on page 1-10 in this manual for additional information.
Revision A Model 340 Telemetry System xi2006899-001Overview of Telemetry Systems: Identifying Your SystemIdentifying Your SystemEach GE Medical Systems Information Technologies device has a unique serial number tag for identification. For each Model 340 Telemetry System, a reference number can be used to determine if the unit is a Model 340 Original Release, Model 340 Plus, or Model 340M. If your device’s REF number begins with “0”, refer to “Identifying Model 340 Original Release and Model 340 Plus Telemetry Systems” next on this page. If your device’s REF number begins with “3”, refer to “Identifying a Model 340M Telemetry System” on the following page.Identifying Model 340 Original Release and Model 340 Plus Telemetry SystemsIf your device’s REF number beings with “0”:the fourth character identifies receiver or transmitterthe fifth character identifies Model 340 Original Release or Model 340 PlusRefer to Figure 1.Figure Preface-1.

1-10 Model 340 Telemetry System Revision A2006899-001Safety: FCC InformationWireless Medical Telemetry ServiceThis section applies to Model 340M Telemetry Systems only. Refer to “Identifying Your System” on page xi for information about identifying what type of telemetry system you have in your hospital.,03257$17Operation of a Model 340M Telemetry System requires prior coordination with a frequency coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service.In June 2000, the FCC allocated new spectrum and established rules for Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) allowing potentially life-critical equipment to operate on an interference-protected basis.The frequency allocation for WMTS provides spectrum where the equipment can operate on a primary basis increasing the reliability of this important service. The FCC allocated 14 MHz of spectrum for use by medical telemetry equipment in the 608–614 MHz, 1395–1400 MHz, and 1429–1432 MHz bands. This allocation was based on a needs assessment conducted by the American Hospital Association (AHA).The 608–614 MHz band, which corresponds to TV channel 37 had been reserved for radio astronomy uses, so this action elevates medical telemetry to a co-primary status with radio astronomy in this band. The 1395–1400 MHz and 1429–1432 MHz bands were government bands reallocated for non-government use.WMTS is designated as one of the Citizen’s Band Services in Part 95 of the rules and licensed by rule to eliminate the possible costs and delays to obtain individual operator’s licenses. The medical telemetry equipment is authorized under the certification procedure in Part 2 of the rules. One or more frequency coordinators maintain a database of all equipment used in conjunction with WMTS.For more information visit http://www.fcc.gov.
