Integrating device diagnostic data into your practice
Integrating device diagnostic data into your practice
We know it‘s becoming increasingly difficult to manage all of your patients who have an implanted cardiac device (ICD). That‘s why remote follow-up is so important, and why it‘s become the standard of care for patients with cardiac devices.1
The CareLink™ network
Today the CareLink™ network is the leading remote monitoring system, with 99.9% of Medtronic devices compatible with the network.2 The network is customizable and flexible, allowing you to move important data to the forefront and view critical transmissions first via CareAlert™ notifications.
The CareLink™ network gives you — as an implanter — an opportunity to collaborate with heart failure physicians on the care and well-being of heart failure patients who have a cardiac device. This collaboration provides heart failure physicians access to critical diagnostics to manage worsening heart failure.3–8
Access to diagnostic device reports and CareAlert™ notifications is available 24/7 on the secure CareLink™ website and the CareLink™ mobile app — providing you with the information you need to take any necessary action for your patients.†,‡
CareAlert™ notifications
Customizable, color-coded CareAlert™ notifications are available for patients who have wireless devices. The alerts can be designated as Red, Yellow, or Website-only. And the urgency levels can be set clinic-wide or customized for individual patients — when you determine it’s necessary.
Options for being notified of wireless alerts include: website, voice message, pager, text message, or email message.

When a patient’s device detects an alert that you have programmed “on,“ such as AT/AF or a device integrity issue, the device will attempt to make a wireless connection to the patient's monitor immediately for notification — and will re-attempt to communicate as needed. Medtronic wants to ensure that you receive the alert as quickly as possible. With CareAlert™ notifications, you can focus on your patients and take the action that‘s needed to provide the best possible care.
The Medtronic CareLink™ network is ISO 27001 certified. This indicates a strong information security management system is in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer/patient data.
