6 Handling
The CardioMessenger is intended primarily for
continuous operation at home because it
receives information from your implanted device
once daily, usually at night, and forwards it to the
BIOTRONIK Service Center.
If handled properly, the installed battery should
supply the CardioMessenger with 16 hours of
power even after 500 complete charging cycles
(which is at least two years).
The CardioMessenger contains a mobile
("cellular") module. In order to prevent any
interference with your implanted device, the
prescribed minimum distance between the
device and a cellular phone must also be
maintained with the CardioMessenger.
Attention
The distance between the CardioMessenger
and the implanted device must be at least
15 cm (6 inches) so that the CardioMessenger
does not interfere with the device.
