Using your Patient Assistant
What is the Patient Assistant?
The Patient Assistant is handheld, battery-operated device about the size
of a pager. Carry it with you at all times so that you have it whenever
you experience a symptom. You use it to record (mark) heart rhythm
data in your inserted cardiac monitor while, or just after, having a
symptom, as instructed by your doctor. Data is stored in the cardiac
monitor, not the Patient Assistant. Your doctor uses the data to check
your heart rhythm and to help determine if your symptoms are heart
related. Examples of symptoms (sometimes called "events") include
fainting, palpitations, seizures, or similar episodes.
This chapter provides instructions on using, handling, maintaining, and
other information about the Patient Assistant.
