2.17.2 Patient Device
The patient device (Figure 9) is designed for use in or away from the home and is comprised of the mobile unit and the associated charging station. The patient can carry the mobile unit during his or her occupational and leisure activities. The patient device is rechargeable, allowing for an approximate operational time of 24 hours. It receives information from the implant and forwards it via the cellular mobile network or the standard telephone system to a BIOTRONIK Service Center.
For additional information about the patient device, please refer to its manual.
2.17.3 Transmitting Data
The implant’s information is digitally formatted by the BIOTRONIK Service Center and processed into a concise report called a Cardio Report. The Cardio Report, which is adjusted to the individual needs of the patient, contains current and previous implant data. The Cardio Report is sent to the attending physician via fax or is available on the Internet, which is selected during registration of the patient.
