 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 event is
available in a following paragraph. Alert conditions are checked
daily.
 the on-demand follow-up transmission is triggered by the patient
himself through the use of a specific button on the
remote-monitor.
 Data transmitted
The data transmitted are identical to the data available during a
standard interrogation with the Orchestra Plus programmer.
All counters, histograms, IEGMs and diagnosis available in the
device are transmitted containing (not exhaustive list):
 programmed parameters
 Information on patient and system implanted
 battery status
 lead status (brady leads and defibrillation coils)
 pacing counters and mean heart rate (brady)
 atrial and ventricular arrhythmia counters and episodes
 ventricular therapy counters
 heart failure monitoring
Data are presented in the form of 2 reports to the physician: the first
one contains a summary of major counters, histograms, warnings
and diagnosis. The second one presents the 3 most important IEGM
episodes automatically selected based on the degree of severity for
the patient.
