Additionally, the attending physician may register to be informed of the occurrence of an Event
Triggered Message through email or SMS (i.e., mobile phone) with a brief text message. If registered
for Internet availability, the patient’s detailed implant data can then be viewed by logging onto the Home
Monitoring website.
5.18.4 Types of Report Transmissions
When the Home Monitoring function is activated, the transmission of a report (Cardio Report) from the
implant can be triggered as follows:
• Trend report—the time period (daily) initiates the report
• Event report—the pulse generator detects certain events, which initiate a report
5.18.4.1 Trend Report
The time of the report transmission is programmable. For periodic messages, the time can be set
anywhere between 0:00 and 23:59 hours. It is recommended to select a time between 0:00 and 4:00.
The length of the time interval (monitoring interval) is preset to “daily”. For each monitoring interval, a
data set is generated in the implant and the transmission is initiated at the designated time.
5.18.4.2 Event Report
When certain cardiac and technical events are detected by the implant, a report transmission is
automatically triggered. This is described as an “event message” as part of the daily transmission.
The following clinical and technical events initiate a Home Monitoring message transmission:
• Atrial Lead Check < 100+/-50 Ohm and > 2500+/-500 Ohm
• Right/Left Ventricular Lead Check < 100+/-50 Ohm and > 2500+/-500
• RVCC/LVCC Disabled
• ERI detected
• Atrial Capture Control Disabled
• High Ventricular rate
• Atrial tachyarrhythmia persisting beyond a programmable time limit or
