About your patient reader

The patient reader is an electronic device that provides an easy
way for your doctor to obtain information about your implanted
device. The patient reader gathers this information from your
implanted device and transmits it to the Medtronic CareLink
network to allow your doctor to manage your care.

The patient reader is intended specifically for your use only and
should only be used by you as directed by your doctor. Do not
use the patient reader with other implanted devices.
Unauthorized use by others with implanted devices could delay
your implanted device date from reaching your doctor.
