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. It sends information on your
heart to the transmitter, your CardioMessenger (2), usually 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 Cardi-
oMessenger.
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.
Based on the information received, your physician can decide if your device is opti-
mally programmed or if the therapy needs adjustments. In this way, Home Moni-
toring serves as a practical diagnostic aid for your physician.
