The monitor is intended specifically for your use only. It will not work with other implanted devices and should only be used by you as directed by your doctor. Unauthorized use by others with

implanted devices could interrupt the prescribed operation of their device.

Indications for use

The monitor is an external electronic device that interfaces with Medtronic implanted heart devices and a telecommunications connection to transmit stored implanted heart device data to the physician or clinician.

Sending information at the request of your doctor or clinic

You will sometimes need to send information at times other than those scheduled by your doctor or clinic. These times are:

• When completing first-time setup

• At the request of your doctor or clinic

See “Sending information using the monitor” on page 20 of this manual.
