24 hours after a charge time of 5 hours. It receives information from the implant and forwards it via the mobile network to a BIOTRONIK Service Center. For additional information about the patient device, please refer to its manual.
BIOTRONIK Service Center and processed into a concise report called a Cardio Report. The Cardio Report, which is adjusted to the individual needs of the patient, contains current and previous implant data. The Cardio Report is sent to the attending physician via fax or is available on the Internet, which is selected during registration of the patient.

Home Monitoring data are no longer possible. The attending physician must notify the BIOTRONIK Service Center about which of these events he/she wishes to be informed. Examples: The programmed sensitivity is 1.0 mV. A) Average of the measured P/R-Wave amplitudes is 2.6 mV. Therefore, measured value is greater than 100% of the safety margin.
Philos DR-T Technical Manual 13 4.2 Trend Message An additional type of message is the programmable “Trend Message”. Trend messages occur at a programmable time of transmission (i.e., at the end of the Monitoring Interval). The time can be set anywhere between 0:00 and 23:50 hours. It is...
Philos DR-T Technical Manual 15 5. Description of Transmitted Data The following data are transmitted by Home Monitoring, when activated. In addition to the medical data, the serial number of the implant is also transmitted. 5.1 The Monitoring Interval The monitoring interval is considered the time period since the last trend message was transmitted.
