SJM Confirm™ Patient Activator User’s Manual 1
Introduction
Your clinician has determined that it is beneficial for you to have a monitoring system to help identify
the cause of symptoms you experience. Your monitoring system consists of the St. Jude Medical™
SJM Confirm™ implantable cardiac monitor and the St. Jude Medical SJM Confirm external patient acti-
vator. This booklet answers some common questions about your monitoring system and explains how to
use the SJM Confirm external patient activator (PA).
What is the SJM Confirm PA?
The PA is an external handheld device, similar to a handheld computer. The PA uses radio waves to com-
municate with your implanted device. The PA initiates recording of the heart’s electrical activity by your
implanted device, reads stored data from your implanted device, and sends stored data to a clinician.
How does my monitoring system work?
Your monitoring systems works in two ways:
• Automatically . Your clinician will set your device to monitor and record your heart’s electrical activity.
• On Command . When you experience symptoms, you can use the PA to tell your device to record
your heart’s electrical activity. Your clinician will identify the symptoms for which you will record your
heart’s electrical activity. You can record this information at the beginning of this book.
