102 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual
CAUTION
Patient-Activated Report - The magnet effect must be
programmed “synchronous” if the [Patient Report] function is
activated.
Not for Conclusive Diagnosis - Because not all information
available in the implant is being transmitted, the data
transmitted by Home Monitoring should be evaluated in
conjunction with other clinical indicators (i.e., in-office
follow-up, patient symptoms, etc.) in order to make a proper
diagnosis.
Frequency of Office Follow-Ups When Using Home
Monitoring - The use of Home Monitoring does not replace
regular follow-up examinations. When using Home
Monitoring, the time period between follow-up visits may not
be extended.
The implant’s Home Monitoring functions can be used for the
entire operational life of the implant (prior to ERI) or for shorter
periods, such as several weeks or months.
NOTE:
When ERI mode is reached, this status is transmitted.
Further measurements and transmissions of Home
Monitoring data are no longer possible.
2.17.1 Transmission of Information
The implant transmits information with a small transmitter, which
has a range of about 6 feet (2 meters). The patient’s implant
data are sent to the corresponding patient device in configurable
periodic intervals. The transmissions may also be activated by
the patient with the application of a magnet over the implant and
by certain cardiac events, as programmed. The types of
transmissions are discussed in Section 2.17.4.
The minimal distance between the implant and the patient device
must be 6 inches (15 cm).
