Medtronic CareLink Network
Bradycardia (Slow Heart Rate)
Do you ever feel tied down because of doctor appointments or checkups? Would you like to travel more without worrying about being too far from your heart clinic? Would it reassure you to know you can stay connected to your doctor?*
The Medtronic CareLink® Network may give you a new sense of freedom through remote monitoring of your Medtronic implantable heart device. CareLink Monitoring allows you to send your device information to your clinic using MyCareLink Patient monitor from your own home. Your clinic then reviews your device information on a secure Internet website, allowing your doctor to do a routine device follow-up or to review a special situation.
Today, nearly 1.5 milion people around the world benefit from Medtronic's home monitoring, gaining more:
- Freedom - With CareLink Monitoring, you're free to live life more fully. You may not have to travel to the clinic as often for heart device follow-up appointments.
- Convenience - The MyCareLink Monitor is easy to use. With the simple, one-touch monitor, you transmit device information easily from your own home.
- Peace of mind - People who use CareLink Monitoring report a sense of reassurance knowing their doctor has access to important information about their heart health. If you feel symptoms, your clinic may ask you to send information so your doctor can review your condition. Your doctor will let you know if your device is wireless. Wireless devices have the ability to send automatic alert notifications directly to your clinic for additional peace of mind.
