IMPORTANT: You may be contacted by a technician from the
Medtronic Monitoring Center to discuss symptoms when the
Patient Trigger Button is used. When you experience any
symptoms, please make note of the following to discuss with a
technician:
▪ type of symptoms
▪ time of symptoms
▪ duration of symptoms
▪ what you were doing
How to use the Transmitter
The Transmitter should be kept within 30 feet (9 meters) of you at all
times to allow transmission of data from the Wearable Sensor to the
Transmitter:
▪ During the day, carry the Transmitter with you using the
Transmitter Case. The Transmitter must be placed in the case
with the LED lights and switch buttons visible through the clear
plastic cover of the case. If the case is to be carried in close
contact with the body, it must be placed so that the back side is
next to the body and the controls are visible through the clear
plastic cover.
▪ At night, keep the Transmitter close to you while you sleep (for
example, on a nightstand).
The Transmitter should be kept ON at all times to allow transmission
of data from the Wearable Sensor to the Transmitter. The Transmitter
may be manually turned OFF by pressing and holding the Power
Button for more than 6 seconds. When a Transmitter is in an OFF
state (no lights are on), it can be turned ON by briefly pressing the
Power Button for less than 1 second. However, please keep the
Transmitter turned ON at all times to allow data transmission.
IMPORTANT: If you are out of range of the Transmitter or
required to turn it off (for example, when on an airplane or if
asked by Medtronic Customer Support), you can continue to
wear the Wearable Sensor and use the Patient Trigger Button to
document symptoms. All of your data will be stored on the
Wearable Sensor and sent to the Transmitter when you are again
within range or when the Transmitter is turned back on.
