2.17.2 Patient Device 
The patient device (

) is designed for use in or away 
from the home and is comprised of the mobile unit and the 
associated charging station.  The patient can carry the mobile 
unit during his or her occupational and leisure activities.  The 
patient device is rechargeable, allowing for an approximate 
operational time of 24 hours.  It receives information from the 
implant and forwards it via the cellular mobile network or the 
standard telephone system to a BIOTRONIK Service Center. 
For additional information about the patient device, please refer 
to its manual. 
2.17.3 Transmitting Data

BIOTRONIK Service Center and processed into a concise report 
called a Cardio Report.  The Cardio Report, which is adjusted to 
the individual needs of the patient, contains current and previous 
implant data.  The Cardio Report is sent to the attending 
physician via fax or is available on the Internet, which is selected 
during registration of the patient.  For more information on 
registering for Home Monitoring, contact your BIOTRONIK sales
