1 Introduction
Dear Patient:
You have received a device with the additional
Home Monitoring function by BIOTRONIK.
How Home Monitoring works
Your implanted device (1) is equipped with a
special transmitter which sends cardiac
information to your CardioMessenger (2). This
usually happens at night.
The transmission power of your implanted device
is low and does not pose a health risk. However,
the transmission range from your implanted
device is limited, and therefore, the use of a
CardioMessenger is required.
The CardioMessenger collects the information
and transmits it to the BIOTRONIK Service
Center (4) as encoded messages via a mobile
connection (3).
The messages are decoded and can be viewed by
your physician (5) on a protected web site.
Usage of this additional data is specific to the
patient and the implanted device. Your physician
will explain to you how he or she will use the
Home Monitoring function.

Attention
Home Monitoring is not an emergency
system. If you are not feeling well, contact a
physician.

Check the Package Contents
Your CardioMessenger is supplied ready for use,
and you can operate it immediately by inserting
the power plug into the wall outlet.
Prior to usage, check the CardioMessenger and
its accessories for any visible damage and use
only undamaged components.
Return a damaged CardioMessenger to your
physician.
Use only the provided original power supply brick
(see the technical data).
Use of other equipment may impair proper
functioning of the CardioMessenger and increase
the emitted electromagnetic interference or
decrease the CardioMessenger's resistance to
electromagnetic interference.

Where Do I Put the CardioMessenger?
At night, the CardioMessenger should be placed
close to your bed to ensure the nightly data
transfer from the implanted device.
The bedside table is therefore the best location
for your CardioMessenger, as it usually meets
the following conditions:
• The CardioMessenger is placed on a solid
base and cannot fall.
• The distance to the implanted device is less
than 2m (6 ft).
• Positioned on the bedside table, you can
clearly see the symbols on the
CardioMessenger's display.
Attention
Make sure that the distance to the implanted
device is less than 2m (6 ft), so that regular
data transmission from the device to the
CardioMessenger is ensured.
Verify on a daily basis that it is ready for
service.
