Mainspring Data Express
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 Data Express 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 Mainspring
Data Express. This software application serves as the primary tool to move and share data for device patients.
Mainspring Data Express helps to streamline the implementation and on-going maintenance of data movement
between applications.
This manual explains the process for installing the Mainspring Data Express software and configuring CareLink
Report Export and CareLink EHR Integration.
Mainspring Data Express 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.
