KING OF PRUSSIA, PA--(NewMediaWire - May 17, 2016) -
Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCQB: MDHI), a Pennsylvania-based personal medical
alarm device manufacturer, is pleased to announce FCC approval and
certification for its new iHelp+ 3G mobile medical alert
device.
FCC testing of the iHelp+ 3G has been completed and
certification has been granted -- FCC ID #XWI-CS399. This
certification includes the cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radio
modules within the device, and greatly furthers the iHelp+ 3G's
commitment to wearable health technology.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent
United States government agency that is directly responsible to
Congress. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934
and is charged with regulating interstate and international
communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The
FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
and U.S. possessions. FCC certification is required for radio
frequency devices, or electronic products manufactured or sold in
the United States. The FCC mark certifies that the
electromagnetic interference from the device is under limits
approved by the FCC.
"FCC certification is the next step getting the iHelp+ 3G mobile
medical alert device to market," said Steven Beeferman, VP of Sales
& Marketing. "We are very excited and completely reassured that
this product is well-designed, well-made, and safe for use by the
general public."
To date, the iHelp+ 3G is FCC and CE certified. CE meets the
standards and requirements of the European Commission and allows
for sales within Europe. PTCRB (required for launching cellular
devices on North American GSM carriers) and IC (Canada's equivalent
of FCC) testing are ongoing.
The iHelp+ 3G pilot program is scheduled to begin in June
2016.
