   The Philadelphia Office found that Tenet Roxborough Memorial Hospital
   ("Roxborough Hospital") was operating a bio-medical telemetry system for
   patient monitoring without a license.

   On October 17, 2008, Roxborough Hospital requested the Philadelphia
   Office's assistance in resolving a harmful interference problem affecting
   the operation of its bio-medical telemetry system. Roxborough Hospital
   uses the bio-medical telemetry system throughout the hospital at 5800
   Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to remotely monitor patients'
   vitals. The bio-medical telemetry system operates on the following 20
   frequencies in the 460 MHz band:


     460.0125 MHz   460.1375 MHz   460.2875 MHz   460.3875      460.5375     
                                                  MHz           MHz          

     460.0375 MHz   460.1625 MHz   460.3125 MHz   460.4125      460.5625     
                                                  MHz           MHz          

     460.0625 MHz   460.1875 MHz   460.3375 MHz   460.4375      460.5875     
                                                  MHz           MHz          

     460.0875 MHz   460.2625 MHz   460.3625 MHz   460.5125      465.9875     
                                                  MHz           MHz          


   The Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of
   a bio-medical telemetry system on any frequency in the 460 MHz band at
   this location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
   You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
   without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
   Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
   penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in
   rem arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal
   sanctions including imprisonment. (see 47 U.S.C. S:S: 401, 501, 503 and
   510).

   You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
   evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
   response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the
   listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
   S: 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff will use
   all relevant material information before it to determine what, if any,
   enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with FCC Rules.
   This will include any information that you disclose in your reply.
