Using the monitor

Refer to the supported device card to determine the appropriate monitor to use when interrogating the patient’s implanted cardiac device.
Interrogate the patient’s device with the Model 2020B first. If the Model 2020B does not identify the patient’s device, then interrogate it with the Model 2020C.
Verify that the facility’s CareLink account is active.
Verify that the batteries are installed with proper polarity.
Locate an analog telephone line wall socket. The monitor does not need to be connected to an analog telephone line wall socket during the interrogation of a patient’s implanted cardiac device. The monitor must be connected to an analog telephone
line wall socket within 15 minutes of the interrogation to complete the transmission to the Medtronic CareLink network. If the monitor is not connected to an analog telephone line wall socket within 15 minutes, the monitor powers down, the patient’s data is lost, and the interrogation must be performed again.
If you must end the interrogation of the patient’s implanted device before it is complete, remove the antenna from over the implanted device and turn off the monitor. When you are ready to restart the session, repeat the interrogation procedures.
If a sterile barrier is required between the monitor antenna and the patient, cover the antenna and antenna cable with Medtronic Sterile Sleeve Model 6177, and follow standard sterile procedures.
1. Press the Power button.
2. Hold the antenna directly over the patient’s implanted device to begin interrogation.
3. Watch the status lights on the display panel on the front of the monitor:
