The Cardio Report is sent to your doctor via FAX at certain
predetermined periods decided upon by your doctor. Your

should be optimized or if the therapy schedule should be
changed. If necessary, he or she will contact you about an

Center. The messages recorded by the implant can still
be transmitted and evaluated during a regular follow-up
examination. Your doctor will answer any further ques-
tions.
