Essential Performance
The Merlin™ PCS provides access to SJM active implantable medical devices (pacemakers, CRT-
Ps, ICDs, and CRT-Ds) but does not provide therapy. All therapy is delivered via the implanted
device.
The Merlin PCS communicates with SJM implantable devices enabling operations such as
programming, and the sending and retrieval of data between the Merlin PCS and the implanted
device.
The Merlin PCS provides visual and mechanical interfaces to medical professionals so they may
assess patient conditions and enable and assess the functioning of the implanted device.
NOTE: For single fault conditions, see Troubleshooting (page 22).
Data Security
St. Jude Medical takes a broad and deep approach to ensuring the safety, security and privacy of
the patient information and data on our devices and systems connecting patients to healthcare
providers and clinics. Patients, clinical staff, and hospital IT staff do not need to configure the
pulse generator or take any special action, for example firewall use, to safeguard patient
information and device data.
 The Merlin PCS programmer logs security events, for example a failed installation of
programmer software, and stores these log files on disk. These files can then be analyzed by
St. Jude Medical personnel during system forensics. They are not meant to be analyzed by
the clinic's information technology personnel.
