The SMARTVIEW CONNECT monitor is delivered to the patient who has to install it at home.
Preferably, the SMARTVIEW CONNECT monitor will be placed on the nightstand of the
patient, as close as possible to the side of the bed where the patient usually sleeps. The
SMARTVIEW CONNECT monitor needs to be connected to the power plug. The scheduled
transmissions, as well as alert transmissions (see below) are done during the night when the
patient is asleep next to the SMARTVIEW CONNECT monitor without any intervention from
the patient.
Transmission trigger
There are 3 different triggers for a remote transmission:
― The remote follow-up transmission is scheduled by the physician to occur regularly
(according to the programming).
― The alert transmission will take place when the implant has recorded an abnormal
event. The list of abnormal events is available in a following paragraph. Alert conditions
are checked daily.
― The on-demand follow-up transmission is triggered by the patient himself, using a
specific software button on the SMARTVIEW CONNECT monitor’s user interface.
Data transmitted
The data transmitted are identical to the data available during a standard interrogation with
the dedicated programmer. All counters, histograms, IEGMs and diagnosis available in the
device are transmitted containing (not an exhaustive list):
― Programmed parameters;
― Information on patient and system implanted;
― Battery status;
― Lead status;
― Pacing counters and mean heart rate;
― Atrial and ventricular arrhythmia counters and episodes.
Data are presented in the form of two reports to the physician: the first one contains a
summary of major counters, histograms, warnings and diagnosis. The second one presents
the most important IEGM episodes automatically selected based on the degree of severity for
the patient.
User website

― Consult and schedule the remote follow-ups of patients;
― Configure additional ways of being notified of alerts (for instance by SMS, fax or e-mail);
― Consult, print and export patient reports.
