Home Monitoring

Introduction

Cylos DR-T

With BIOTRONIK's Home Monitoring function, patients can be treated

even more effectively. All Home Monitoring implants are equipped with

a small transmitter and are designated by the letter "T," e.g., Cylos DR-

T and Lumos DR-T.

The Home Monitoring function has no effect on any functions and

features of the basic implant, such as pacing and sensing functions,

preset parameters, or memory functions.

With Home Monitoring, you as the physician can view the data

transmitted by the implant in a comprehensive report called a Cardio

Report, allowing you to always be informed about your patient's

cardiac status.

A patient device receives messages from the implant and transmits

them to the BIOTRONIK Service Center. At the Center, the data are

processed and are made available to you via a secure Internet

connection.

The implant’s Home Monitoring function can be used for the entire

operational life of the implant or for shorter periods, just a few weeks

or months.

The most important components of Home Monitoring are the implant,

the patient device, and the BIOTRONIK Service Center.

The Implant

The power of the implant's transmitter is very low, so that the patient's

health is not affected in any way. The resulting short transmission

range requires the use of a special patient device to forward the

implant data to the BIOTRONIK Service Center.
