Introduction

Dear patient:
You have received a pacemaker or implantable

cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with the
additional Home Monitoring function by
BIOTRONIK.With Home Monitoring, the state of
your heart's health and your implant are
surveyed on a daily basis while you are at
home. Your physician can catch up at regular
intervals on how your heart is doing.

How Home Monitoring works

Your implant is equipped with a special
transmitter (1). Usually at night, the
transmitter sends daily information on your
heart to the patient device, your
CardioMessenger (2).

The transmission power from your implant is
low and does not impair your health in any way.
Its limited transmission range, however,
requires the use of the CardioMessenger.

The CardioMessenger collects the information
received from the implant and automatically
transmits it to the

CardioMessenger II-S TLine Introduction

CM _II-S_TLine.book Page 4 T uesday, May 6, 2008 12:56 PM

BIOTRONIK Service Center (4) as encoded
messages via a landline connection (3).

Here, the messages are decoded and made
available for viewing by your physician (5) on a
protected web site.

Based on the information received, your
physician can decide if your implant is best
configured, or if the therapy needs
adjustments. In this way, Home Monitoring
serves as a practical diagnostic aid to your
physician.

Setup

Place the CardioMessenger on your bedside
table. The bedside table is suitable because it
usually meets the following conditions:

2

The CardioMessenger is placed on a solid
base and cannot fall.

2

The distance to the implant is less than 2
meters so that regular data transmission at
night is assured.

Please take the following into consideration:

2

Place the CardioMessenger in such a way
that the lights can easily be viewed during
the day. If the lights disturb you in your
sleep, turn the CardioMessenger away from
you. Do not place the CardioMessenger on
the floor, next to, or under your bed.

2

Do not place the CardioMessenger next to a
television set, microwave oven, or a similar
source of electromagnetic interference.

2

Do not expose the CardioMessenger to
temperatures exceeding 40 °C (104 °F). Do
not put it on a place with direct sun light and
do not place it directly under a halogen
spotlight.

2

Do not expose the CardioMessenger to
temperatures lower than 10°C (50°F).

2

Protect the CardioMessenger against water
and high humidity. Do not place it in the
bathroom.

Connection

Connection to the landline

The CardioMessenger transmits the Home
Monitoring data via landline.

There are two ways to connect the
CardioMessenger to the landline:

2

Method A
CardioMessenger and telephone are
operated using the same telephone wall
jack.

2

Method B
The CardioMessenger is operated with a
telephone wall jack to which no other device
is connected.

In both cases, you can use your phone as
usual.

Note

The CardioMessenger has been designed
for use with an analog landline. Correct
operation cannot be ensured if using a
digital landline. If you are unsure what kind
of landline you are using, please contact
your telephone provider.
