Product Description
BIOTRONIK
Home Monitoring
®
In addition to effective pacing therapy, BIOTRONIK provides a complete therapy
management system:
• With Home Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic information and technical
data are sent via an antenna in the implant header to a mobile or stationary
transmitter. The encrypted data are sent from the transmitter to the
BIOTRONIK Service Center via the cellular phone network.
• The received data are deciphered and evaluated. Each physician can set the
criteria for evaluation to be used for each patient and can configure the time of
notification via fax, SMS or E-mail.
• A clear overview of the analysis results is displayed for the attending physicians
on the protected Internet platform HMSC (Home Monitoring Service Center).
• Data transmission from the implant is performed on a daily basis with the trend
message. Depending on the transmitter used, these data are passed on imme-
diately or, if the data is normal, it is coll ected for up to 2 weeks. If certain events
occur in the patient's heart or in the im plant itself, an event message is sent.
Additionally, patients can send a patient message by applying the magnet.
