The Medical Device Radiocommunications Service is a specification and communication spectrum created for and set aside by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for the communication needs of diagnostic and therapeutic medical implants and body-worn medical devices. Devices operating on MedRadio include cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, neuromuscular stimulators, and drug delivery systems. As of February 2016, communications spectrum for these and other similar devices is set aside at various points in the 400 MHz frequency band, as well as the 2360-2400 MHz band, though specifically for medical body area network devices. The specification supersedes and incorporates a previous specification called the Medical Implant Communication Service.
The specification and nearly identical spectrum have also been created by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute , with the specification largely referred to as MICS/MEDS in Europe and other parts of the world.
