Your clinician has determined that it is beneficial for you to have a monitoring system to help identify the cause of symptoms you experience. Your monitoring system consists of the St. Jude Medical™ SJM Confirm™ implantable cardiac monitor and the St. Jude Medical SJM Confirm external patient acti- vator.
What is the implant procedure like? The implant typically involves a simple surgical procedure. The doctor numbs the area with local anaes- thesia, makes a small incision, and places the device just under the skin in the upper chest through the small incision.
Why do I need an identification card? You will be given an identification card with information about your device and the PA. Put the card in your wallet or carry it with you at all times. Show your card if you are ever in an emergency, are admitted to a hospital, see a new doctor, or need to prove that you have a device.

2. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be con- sidered.
