The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology asked for comment on an application by Medimetrics Personalized Drug Delivery for a waiver allowing the marketing, sale and operation of its medical device trademarked as the IntelliCap Portable Unit. The device connects an electronic capsule swallowed by a patient to a central control unit, typically a laptop computer, and can be used to pump drugs into the body at a specific location, said the company (http://philips.to/1hb5jIJ). The waiver would be needed to accommodate the capsule’s small antenna that requires the use of higher power limits than now allowed to connect the pill to the control unit, OET said Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1iXAy57). The connections use 433 MHz and 2.4 GHz spectrum. Comments are due July 7, replies July 21, in docket 14-84.
