It is important that you regularly back up the CareLink Pro database. The database stores all

system data that has accumulated in your patient’s records, including profile information, device-

derived data, and report settings.

It is also important that you have the latest version of CareLink Pro. Updated versions are

available periodically, and may contain important enhancements. You can choose to search for

updates or to be notified when they are available.
