Introduction
This manual is intended to help you
use the Medtronic CareLink Monitor
Model 2490C.
If you have any questions that are
not answered by this manual, or if
you have any problems with the
monitor, talk to your doctor. Your
doctor knows your medical history
and can give you the help you need.
About your monitor
The Medtronic CareLink Monitor
Model 2490C is designed to
automatically gather information
from your implanted heart device.
This automatic wireless
communication between your heart
device and the monitor takes place
at times scheduled by your doctor or
clinic. Sending heart device
information to your clinic using
wireless technology does not require
you to interact with your monitor.
Clinics typically schedule this
automatic process to occur while
you sleep.
Medtronic
PatntR05
The gathered heart device
information is sent over a telephone
line to your clinic using a toll-free
number. The monitor must always
be plugged into a telephone wall jack
and a power outlet for this reason.

The monitor will also send wireless
heart device alerts to your clinic
automatically. The information sent
to your clinic helps your doctor
manage your care.
Your phone will be busy while the
monitor is sending information. For

information with your monitor” on
page 13.
The monitor is intended specifically
for your use only. It will not work
with other implanted devices and
should be used only by you as
directed by your doctor.
