The SEEQ Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) System is a wearable,
wireless arrhythmia detection system that is used to aid clinicians in
diagnosing suspected cardiac arrhythmias. It consists primarily of the
Wearable Sensor monitoring device and the Transmitter (portable
data transmission device). The SEEQ MCT System, in combination
with interpretation services provided by the Medtronic Monitoring
Center, as well as secure online review of data (for prescribing
physicians only), enables patient- and physician-friendly arrhythmia
detection for up to 30 days at a time.
How the SEEQ MCT System works
Once activated, the Wearable Sensor continuously monitors the
heart and automatically collects ECGs. When rhythm abnormalities
are detected, data is automatically transmitted from the Wearable
Sensor to the Transmitter, which then automatically transmits the
data to the Medtronic Monitoring Center. Patients can also trigger
transmission of ECGs when they experience cardiac symptoms by
using the Patient Trigger Button. Certified cardiographic technicians
at the Medtronic Monitoring Center review received data and
document symptoms reported to the Medtronic Monitoring Center by
patients. Reports prepared by the Medtronic Monitoring Center are
delivered to the prescribing physician and made available to them at
www.medtronic.com to provide them with data for their diagnosis and
identification of various clinical conditions, events and/or trends.
Prescribing physicians may also be contacted by the Medtronic
Monitoring Center directly when arrhythmias that meet pre-defined
criteria are detected.
IMPORTANT:
▪ The SEEQ MCT System is not intended to be an alarm or to
alert patients or physicians, and will not summon
emergency response in the event help is needed.
