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
CardioMessenger (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 CardioMessenger.
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.
Attention
Home Monitoring is not an emergency system. If you are not feeling well, contact a physician.
