How Do I Take Care of the Cardio-
Messenger?
Handle the CardioMessenger with care, so that you
will be able to use it for a long time and so that
BIOTRONIK can guarantee its proper operation:
•
Keep the device clean and away from dirty or dusty
environments.
•
Use a soft cloth for cleaning. If necessary, the
cloth can be moistened with water. Do not
immerse the device in water.
•
Protect the device from direct contact with water.
For example, wear the device under your coat
when it rains, and use the provided belt carrying
case.
Give the CardioMessenger back to your doctor when it
no longer works.
The CardioMessenger does not need to be serviced at
regular intervals by a technician.
Note:
Before each use, inspect the CardioMessenger,
charging station, power supply unit and cable, and
make sure they are not damaged. If you find damage,
consult your physician.
If handled properly, the installed batteries should
supply the CardioMessenger with 24 hours of power
even after 500 charging cycles (which is about two
years).
If this is not the case, check whether the Cardio-
Messenger was completely charged during the next
charging cycle. Additional information can be found in
the ”Charging the CardioMessenger” section on page
12.
If you find that the battery is always running low too
soon, contact your physician. The physician will have a
new battery installed.
Note:
When authorized personnel change the battery, they
should also check the button cell.
