How long will I have my cardiac monitor inserted?
Your doctor will decide how long you need the cardiac monitor. The battery is designed to last
approximately 3 years.
What if my symptoms are not related to my heart rhythm?
Your cardiac monitor can help your doctor determine if you do not have heart rhythm problems.
Your doctor can focus on other potential causes or refer you to another doctor.
Why do I need a device identification card?
Your Medtronic device identification (ID) card has information about you, your doctor, and your
cardiac monitor in case you have a medical emergency or have a medical question. Carry it with
you at all times.
What if I need to travel?
When you travel, continue to use your Patient Assistant and patient monitor as instructed. For
information on passing through security systems such as at the airport, see "Security systems" on
page 21. If you travel for an extended period of time, your doctor can make sure your cardiac
monitor transmissions are adjusted for time zone differences. See the back cover of this manual for
Medtronic contact information worldwide.
Is data saved in the Patient Assistant?
No, the Patient Assistant only prompts the cardiac monitor to record data.
