Instructions for using the Patient Assistant
You or a helper should follow these steps while you are having symptoms or as soon as possible
afterward, as directed by your doctor.
1. Press and release the Record Symptom button. The Searching light will start flashing blue.
2. Quickly hold the Patient Assistant flat against your chest, directly over your cardiac device.
(Your cardiac device may be in a different location than shown in this figure.)
3. When a symptom is successfully marked, the Success tone will sound and the Success light will
illuminate green. This means you have successfully recorded an event in your cardiac device.
Note: It usually takes just a few seconds for the Patient Assistant and cardiac device to
communicate. If the success signals do not occur within 15 seconds, repeat steps 1-2.
