16. MAIN FUNCTIONS
─ battery status
─ lead status (brady leads and defibrillation coils)
─ pacing counters and mean heart rate (brady)
─ atrial and ventricular arrhythmia counters and episodes
─ ventricular therapy counters
Data are presented in the form of 2 reports to the physician: the first one contains a
summary of major counters, histograms, warnings and diagnosis. The second one presents
the 3 most important IEGM episodes automatically selected based on the degree of severity
for the patient.
16.7.4 . User website
On the website, the physician is able to:
─ consult and schedule the remote follow-ups of their patient
─ configure additional ways of being notified of alerts (for instance by SMS, fax or e-mail
─ consult, print and export patient reports
16.7.5 . Alert system
The following set of alert trigger can be independently programmed ON/OFF by the
physician using the dedicated programmer and can trigger an alert transmission:
─ Low or high impedance (A, V)
─ Abnormal coil impedance (shock lead)
─ Low or High shock impedance
─ Inefficient high energy shock
─ All shocks programmed OFF
─ Shock treated VT/VF
─ Suspicion of noise on the V lead
─ AF occurrence
─ Fast V rate during AF

WARNING: The use of remote monitoring does not replace regular follow-up. Therefore,
when using remote monitoring, the time period between follow-ups visits may not be
extended.
