4.1.1.7 How to maintain patient safety and privacy
To maintain the patient’s safety and privacy during a wireless telemetry session, all other
programmers are locked out from communicating or initiating a session with the patient’s
implanted device. Similarly, implanted devices in other patients are locked out from any
communication or programming occurring during the patient’s session.
When you are using wireless telemetry, the patient’s name is displayed on the Command
bar of the programmer screen. For more information regarding the Command bar, see
Section 4.3, “Display screen features”, page 57. If the patient’s name has not been
entered, the patient’s ID number is displayed. If the patient’s name and ID number are not
entered, then “(Patient name not entered)” appears on the Command bar. Enter the patient’s
name and ID number as early as possible to assist with patient identification when using
wireless telemetry.
4.1.2 Using nonwireless telemetry
You can use either the Medtronic CareLink Model 2090 Programmer with Conexus
telemetry in nonwireless telemetry mode or the Medtronic CareLink Model 2090
Programmer. You also need to use a Medtronic Model 2067 or 2067L Programming Head
while in this mode. After you start a patient session using nonwireless telemetry, you must
end the session before you can change to wireless telemetry mode.
4.1.2.1 How to establish nonwireless telemetry
If you are using the Medtronic CareLink Model 2090 Programmer with Conexus telemetry
but choose to use it in the nonwireless mode, make sure that the “Allow wireless
communication” check box on the Find Patient window is not selected. This prevents the
programmer from initiating a wireless telemetry session. If you are using a Medtronic
CareLink Model 2090 Programmer that does not have Conexus telemetry, the check box
does not appear on the Find Patient window. Place the programming head over the device
to establish nonwireless telemetry between the programmer and the device. Successful
interrogation or programming of the device verifies that reliable communication between
the device and the programmer has occurred. When nonwireless telemetry is first
established during a session, the telemetry status indicator in the upper-left corner of the
programmer task bar displays the programming head icon, as shown in Figure 5.
