Medtronic Mainspring Connectivity
Mainspring – because like the inner workings of a clock – it is the power source that facilitates the movement
of cardiac data within your clinic, and between various departments within your organization.
Mainspring Connectivity is a comprehensive solution for your cardiac patients, bringing together device and
patient data from the Medtronic CareLink Network, the Paceart System, the CareLink Programmer, your EHR
System, and local network.
In order to simplify the process of connecting and sharing demographic, scheduling, and device data between
Medtronic applications and electronic health record systems (EHRs), Medtronic has developed the Connected
Systems Gateway (CSG). This software application serves as the primary tool to move and share data for
device patients.The CSG helps to streamline theimplementation and on-going maintenance of data movement
between applications.
This manual explains the process for installing the Connected Systems Gateway software and configuring
CareLink Report Export integration. There is an optimal process for installation and configuration.
1. On the CareLink Network, create an external account and authorization code for the CSG and enable the
Report Export feature.
2. On your network, install and configure the CSG.
3. On CareLink Network and your network, export a report from CareLink and ensure it arrives in the correct
location.
The Connected Systems Gateway is an optional component of the CareLink Network and the Paceart System.
For more information on configuring the CareLink website refer to the CareLink online Help.
