Re: [IP] US price for Medtronic Guardian price
I know from the FCC website that Minimed uses the following frequencies in
the US:
0.131 MHz: Implantable pump system (2007C)
0.133 MHz: Implantable pump system (2007D)
418 MHz: 508 remote programmer, MMT-7700 transmitter (TGMS), MMT-7900
Guardian RT Transmitter
916.3 - 916.85MHz: Comlink MMT-7304US
916.5 MHz: Paradigm remote programmers and pumps, MySentry Monitor and
Outpost devices, MMT-7701ww transmitter (looks like the MMT-7700), MMT-7703
Minilink, Carelink (USB transmitter fob)
2405 - 2480MHz (WIFI channels 3 through 11): MySentry Monitor and Outpost
Not sure what the wireless frequencies are in Europe, but from what I can
tell, they are different. I haven't checked everything, but it seems that
North America predominantly uses 916.5MHz and the rest of the world
(Worldwide or "WW") uses 868.35MHz. Check page 140 on this document:
