Types of Implant Messages

Implants with the Home Monitoring function send implant messages at

set times or when certain events have occurred. Message transmission

can be triggered as follows:

• Trend message –

every day, at a certain time, the message is triggered

• Event message –

an event triggers the message

• Patient message –

the pacemaker patient triggers the message with a special magnet

Trend Message

Using the programmer, you decide the time at which the daily implant

message is transmitted to the patient device. It is recommended that a

time be chosen during which the patient is sleeping because the

patient will then be close to the patient device.

The length of the time interval (the monitoring interval) is not

programmable: it is preset to "daily." For each monitoring interval, a

data set is generated in the implant and the transmission is triggered.
