What do I do when I feel symptoms?
Whenever symptoms occur, trigger the Wearable Sensor to transmit
a record of your heart activity by pushing the blue Patient Trigger
Button located in the middle of the Wearable Sensor until you hear a
beep. An ECG will be transmitted to the Transmitter and then
transmitted to the Medtronic Monitoring Center for review and
delivery to your physician.
How can I report my symptoms?
Technicians from Medtronic may call you to discuss your symptoms.
Please make note of the type of symptoms, the duration of
symptoms, when they happened, and what you were doing so it can
be discussed with a technician. You should contact your physician if
you need medical care.
Can I take a shower while wearing my Wearable Sensor?
Yes, the Wearable Sensor is water resistant so you can shower while
wearing it. However, do NOT submerge the Wearable Sensor in
water by swimming or sitting in a hot tub. In addition, avoid excessive
rubbing of the Wearable Sensor during showering.
Will I need to change the battery in the Transmitter or the
Wearable Sensor?
Battery replacement is not required for the Wearable Sensor and the
Transmitter. However, we recommend that you charge the
Transmitter every night.
How close must I be to the Transmitter to ensure that the data
collected by my Wearable Sensor is transmitted?
Remain within 30 feet (9 meters) of the Transmitter for successful
data transmission.
How often do I need to change the Wearable Sensor device?
When both of the following two symbols ( and ) appear on the
Wearable Sensor display, you should remove the Wearable Sensor.
Please apply a new Wearable Sensor if your monitoring period has
not ended.
What if the Wearable Sensor causes my skin to itch?
If you experience skin irritation while wearing the Wearable Sensor,
speak with your physician.
Should I carry the Transmitter with me when I travel?
Yes, take the Transmitter with you at all times. The Transmitter will
remain charged for up to 12 hours. If you plan to be away for longer
than 12 hours, take the Transmitter Charger with you.
Will I need to notify security screeners about my Wearable
Sensor?
Carry the SEEQ MCT System patient travel card provided as part of
your SEEQ MCT System when traveling or entering high security
areas. Wearable Sensor and Transmitter devices may trigger security
systems, but the devices will not be damaged. If your Wearable
Sensor or Transmitter triggers a security system, simply show the
security personnel this card and tell them you are wearing a medical
device.
