Dear Patient:
You have received a device with the additional
Home Monitoring function by BIOTRONIK.
How Home Monitoring works
Your device (1) is equipped with a special transmitter
which sends cardiac information to your Cardio-
Messenger (2). This usually happens at night.
The transmission power from your device is low and does
not impair your health in any way. Its limited transmission
range, however, requires the use of the Cardio-
Messenger.
The CardioMessenger collects the information and
transmits it to the BIOTRONIK Service Center (4) as
encoded messages via a mobile connection (3).
Here, the messages are decoded and can be viewed by
your physician (5) on a protected web site.
Usage of this additional data is specific to the patient and
the implanted device. Your physician will explain to you
how he or she will use the Home Monitoring function.
Note: Home Monitoring is not an emergency system. If
you are not feeling well, contact a physician.
