ways it may collect data from your implanted device.

1. Routine Device Checks

Depending on your implanted device, the
Communicator may perform an automatic
daily device check or a prompted weekly
device check. The Communicator checks in
with your implanted device and will collect
and send data to your doctor when needed.
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the flashing Heart button.

2. Remote Scheduled Follow-ups

The Communicator performs remote
scheduled follow-ups on a schedule set by
your health care provider. The Communicator
performs a full interrogation (collects and
sends data from your implanted device).
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the flashing Heart button.

3. Manual Interrogations

The Heart button is designed to enable you to
manually interrogate your implanted device.
This is a feature that must be enabled by
your health care provider. Only press the
Heart button if it is flashing or when instructed
to do so by your health care provider. When
the heart button is pressed, the Communicator
checks to make sure the interrogation is
permitted. See "Using the Heart Button" on
page 33 for more information.
