Introduction

This manual is intended to help you use the  MyCareLink Patient Monitor Model 24950. If you have any questions setting up or using the monitor, or if you have problems with the monitor, please contact Medtronic. See “How to contact  Medtronic” on page 40, or use the information found on the back cover of this manual. If you have questions about your medical condition, talk to your doctor. Your doctor knows your medical history.

About your monitor

The monitor is an electronic device that provides an easy way for your doctor to obtain information about your heart device. The monitor gathers this information to allow your doctor to manage your care.

How your monitor gathers information from your heart device is determined by the kind of heart device you have. Some heart devices communicate wirelessly with your monitor. Once you have set up your monitor and completed an initial manual transmission, themonitor 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. The process is silent and invisible.

Clinics typically schedule the automatic process to occur while you sleep. For this reason, the monitor must remain plugged into a power outlet. The heart device information is sent to your clinic using the cellular phone network.

Other heart devices require you to use your monitor’s reader to gather information from your heart device so your monitor can send the information to your clinic.

To find out which kind of device you have, see your heart device patient manual, or talk to your doctor.

The monitor is intended specifically for your use only. It will not work with other implanted devices and should only be used by you as directed by your doctor. Unauthorized use by others with implanted devices could interrupt the prescribed operation of their device.

Sending information at the request of your doctor or clinic

You will sometimes need to send information at times other than those scheduled by your doctor or clinic. These times are: • When completing first‐time setup, to allow automatic wireless communication between your monitor and your heart device • At the request of your doctor or clinic

See “Sending information using the monitor” on page 21 of this manual.

Indications for use

The monitor is an external electronic device that interfaces with Medtronic implanted heart devices and a telecommunications connection to transmit stored implanted heart device data to the physician or clinician.

Contraindications

There are no known contraindications for the monitor.

Warnings

Warning: If you are feeling ill, seek immediate medical attention. Do not use the monitor unless directed by your doctor. If there is an emergency,  call your local emergency number.

The most basic monitors show your heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. More advanced models also show how much oxygen your blood is carrying or how fast you’re breathing.

What activities can you not do with a pacemaker?

Don’t engage in excessive physical activity, including movements like leaning on your arms or stretching your arms overhead or behind you. Don’t rub your chest area around or near the incision. Don’t lift heavy objects, which may even include a heavy purse or a dog or cat, especially on the side of the pacemaker.

What is CareLink?

University Health cares about each of our patients, regardless of income level. We offer the CareLink financial assistance program to Bexar County families who do not have health insurance and do not qualify for other coverage.

Do pacemakers record data?

These pacemakers continuously collect data on cardiac events and carry out measurements by, for example, periodically measuring the amplitude of atrial signals. This information is then stored in the pacemaker memory for later retrieval and automatic analysis by the DOs function.

What is a Medtronic heart monitor?

The LINQ II™ insertable cardiac monitoring system is the world’s most accurate ICM,^1-4 personalized for the patient’s lifestyle and customized for the clinician’s workflow. LINQ II ICM is ideal for patients experiencing infrequent symptoms that require long-term monitoring or ongoing management.
