Services for physicians
Prescription duration:
After registering with Medtronic, physicians can prescribe the SEEQ
MCT System for up to 30 days at a time. As each Wearable Sensor
is designed to last for up to 7.5 days, prescription lengths greater than
one week will be enabled through the use of more than one Wearable
Sensor.
Clinical reports:
Clinicians can receive clinical reports, including Episode, Daily, and
End of Use Reports, directly from the Medtronic Monitoring Center by
fax and/or email. Clinical data can also be securely reviewed online
at www.medtronic.com. Clinicians may download and/or print clinical
reports, review collected ECGs, and also establish service
preferences. For any questions about online use, please contact
Medtronic Customer Support at 1-877-247-7449.
Notifications:
The Medtronic Monitoring Center may send Episode Reports and
contact prescribing physicians directly when arrhythmias that meet
pre-defined criteria are identified. Contact information and notification
preferences will be established upon registration and can be
updated.
IMPORTANT: Patient data available for transmission during the
monitoring period are updated for physician display upon
detection of a clinical event OR every two hours when no events
are detected, assuming a) the Wearable Sensor is within 30 feet
(9 meters) of Transmitter, b) the Transmitter has been
appropriately installed as specified in “How to use the
Transmitter” and has sufficient power and c) sufficient cellular
coverage for data transmission exists. Analysis of ECGs by the
Medtronic Monitoring Center may also affect the timing of ECG
display. Additional patient data may be available after the end of
monitoring.
