PATIENT TRIGGERED MONITOR
Patient Triggered Monitor allows the patient to trigger the storage of EGMs,
intervals, and annotated marker data during a symptomatic episode by placing
a m agnet over the device.
Patient Triggered Monitor is enabled by selecting Store EGM as the desired
magnet response. This can be found in the Magnet and Beeper section on the
V-Tachy Therapy Setup screen. When enabled, the device will store up to 2
minutes of patient monitor data prior to and up to 1 m inute after triggering
the monitoring. The stored data include the episode number, the atrial and
ventricular rates at magnet application, and the start time and date of magnet
application.
When data are stored, the corresponding episode type is recorded as PTM
in the Arrhythmia Logbook.
Use care when enabling Patient Triggered Monitor, because the following
conditions will exist:
• All other magnet features are disabled, including inhibiting therapy (until
the EGM is stored). The Magnet/Beeper feature will not indicate magnet
position.
• Device longevity is impacted. Once the patient has triggered this feature to
store episode data or the feature is disabled, the impact on device longevity
is no longer present. To help reduce the longevity effect, this feature is
automatically disabled after 60 days from the day it was enabled.
• Once the EGM is stored, the device magnet response automatically will be
set to Inhibit Therapy.
