  • implanted MICS devices may transmit in response to a transmission from an external medical implant programmer/control transmitter or a non-radio frequency actuation signal generated by an external device. See 47 C.F.R. § 95.1209(b). The external medical implant programmer/control transmitter must follow a listen-before-talk protocol before transmitting to ensure that a selected channel is not already occupied. See 47 C.F.R. § 95.628. The second circumstance in which an implanted MICS device may transmit is in response to a ``medical implant event.'' See 47 C.F.R. § 95.1209(b). A medical implant event is ``[a]n occurrence or the lack of an occurrence recognized by a medical implant device, or a duly authorized health care professional, that requires the transmission of data from a medical implant
