Cardiac rhythm technologies
BlueSync™ technology
BlueSync™ technology within certain implantable cardiac devices enables secure, wireless communication via Bluetooth®* low energy without compromising longevity.
Overview
BlueSync™ technology is comprised of three components:
- Bluetooth®* low energy: Enabled to automatically and securely communicate with Bluetooth®* low energy smartphones or tablets
- Encryption module: Data is encrypted in the device using NIST† standard encryption.
- High-density integrated circuit: Reduces current drain for increased longevity
Reimagine the experience from implant through long-term patient management.
Reimagined connectivity
The implanted cardiac device uses BlueSync™ technology to communicate with the CareLink SmartSync™ device manager and MyCareLink Heart™ app, reimagining the experience from implant through long-term patient management.
Security measures1
BlueSync™ technology security was designed to protect the device, patient data, and connectivity. In addition to extensive internal product security testing, we also engaged specialized security testing firms to confirm the protection and privacy of our devices.
Device protection
- BlueSync™ devices do not accept programming from unauthorized sources.
- BlueSync™ devices are not connected to internet. Devices do not have an IP address, unlike other connected consumer products.
Data privacy
- Data are encrypted in BlueSync™ technology using NIST† government standard for security (used in critical applications like banking) before being transmitted to the CareLink™ network.
