2.11.3.1 Transmission of Information
The implant transmits information with a small transmitter, which
has a range of about 2 meters. The patient’s implant data are
sent to the corresponding patient device in configurable periodic
intervals. The transmissions may also be activated by the
detection of a cardiac event, as programmed. The types of
transmissions are discussed in Section
2.11.3.3.
The minimal distance between the implant and the patient device
must be maintained at 15 cm.
2.11.3.2 CardioMessenger II
The CardioMessenger II patient
device (Figure 14

for use in the home and is comprised of the mobile device and the
associated charging station. The patient can carry the mobile
device with them during his or her occupational and leisure
activities. The patient device is rechargeable, allowing for an
approximate operational time of approximately 24 hours. It
receives information from the implant and forwards it via
telephone networks (cellular or traditional) to the BIOTRONIK
Service Center.
