Mintek LV Pacemaker User Manual


 
12 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual
If the patient cannot understand or follow the instructions
because of physical or mental challenges, another adult who can
follow the instructions will be necessary for proper transmission.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Precautions for EMI
interference with the Stratos CRT-Ps are provided in
Section 1.5.6. Sources of EMI including cellular telephones,
electronic article surveillance systems, and others are discussed
therein.
Use in Cellular Phone Restricted Areas - The mobile patient
device (transmitter/receiver) should not be utilized in areas
where cellular phones are restricted or prohibited (i.e.,
commercial aircraft).
Event Triggered Report - A timely receipt of the event report
cannot be guaranteed. The receipt is also dependent on
whether the patient was physically situated in the required
coverage range of the patient device at the time the event
information was sent.
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.
