Philos DR-T Technical Manual 1 1. Home Monitoring-Overview Philos DR-T offers the complete functionality of a DDDR pacemaker while being equipped with the additional features associated with Home Monitoring. Consult the Philos technical manual for a description and overview of the standard pacemaker functionality of the Philos DR-T. 1.1 Home Monitoring Home Monitoring is a novel system, which enables the exchange of information about a patient’s cardiac status between implant, patient, and physician. Home Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance reports from the implant and process them into graphical and tabular formats. This information helps the physician optimize the therapy process, as it may result in the patient being scheduled for additional clinical appointments between regular follow-up visits if necessary. The implant’s Home Monitoring function can be used for the entire operational life of the implant (prior to ERI) or for shorter periods, such as several weeks or months. 1.2 Transmission of Information The implant transmits information with a small transmitter, which has a range of about 2 meters. The patient’s implant data are sent daily to the corresponding patient device (i.e., CardioMessenger) at a configurable time. The transmissions may also be activated by the patient with the application of a magnet over the implant and by certain cardiac events, as programmed. The types of transmissions are discussed in Section 4. The minimal distance between the implant and the patient device must be 15 cm. 2 Philos DR-T Technical Manual 1.3 Patient Device with Components The patient device (Figure 1) is designed for use in the home and is comprised of the mobile device and the associated charging station. The patient can carry the mobile device with them during his or her occupational and leisure activities. The patient device comes with a rechargeable battery that has an approximate operational time of 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. Figure 1: Patient Device with Charging Stand (CardioMessenger) Philos DR-T Technical Manual 3 1.4 Receiving Patient Data The implant’s information is digitally formatted by the 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. For more information on registering for Home Monitoring, contact your BIOTRONIK sales representative. The password protected BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring website can be accessed by registered users at the following URL: www.biotronik-homemonitoring.com An online help menu is available in order to assist with the use of the Home Monitoring website. Use of the Internet for reviewing Home Monitoring data must be in conjunction with the system requirements listed in Table 1. Additionally, Table 1 provides system specifications that are recommended for optimizing usage of the Internet. 4 Philos DR-T Technical Manual Table 1: System Requirements / Recommendations System System Requirements Recommendations (for Optimal Usage) Screen 800 x 600 ≥ 1024 x 768 Resolution Internet 56 kB/sec ≥ 128 kB/sec Bandwidth (DSL, cable modem) PC 600 MHz, 128 N/A MB RAM Internet Browser MS Internet ≥ MS Internet Explorer Explorer 5.0 5.5 - or - or Netscape ≥ Netscape 7/Mozilla Navigator 4.72 Acrobat Reader Version 4 Version 5 or higher Communication Fax (G3) or Fax (G3), e-mail or Channel e-mail mobile phone Additionally, the attending physician may register to be informed of the occurrence of an Event Triggered Message through email or SMS (i.e., mobile phone) with a brief text message. If registered for Internet availability, the patient’s detailed implant data can then be viewed by logging onto the Home Monitoring website. Philos DR-T Technical Manual 5 2. Indications and Contraindications For the general indications and contraindications, please refer to the Philos Family technical manual. The indications and contraindications of the Philos DR-T are identical to those of the rate adaptive dual chamber Philos DR pulse generator. 6 Philos DR-T Technical Manual Philos DR-T Technical Manual 7 3. Warnings and Precautions Certain therapeutic and diagnostic procedures may cause undetected damage to a pulse generator, resulting in malfunction or failure at a later time. Please note the following warnings and precautions: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – Avoid use of magnetic resonance imaging as it has been shown to cause movement of the pulse generator within the subcutaneous pocket and may cause pain and injury to the patient and damage to the pulse generator. If the procedure must be used, constant monitoring is recommended, including monitoring the peripheral pulse. Rate-Adaptive Pacing – Use rate-adaptive pacing with care in patients unable to tolerate increased pacing rates. High Output Settings – High output settings combined with extremely low lead impedance may reduce the life expectancy of the pulse generator to less than 1 year. Programming of pulse amplitudes, higher than 4.8 V, in combination with long pulse widths and/or high pacing rates may lead to premature activation of the replacement indicator. 3.1 Home Monitoring Patient’s Ability – Use of Home Monitoring requires the patient and/or caregiver to follow the system instructions and cooperate fully when transmitting data. If the patient cannot understand or follow the instructions because of physical or mental challenges, another adult who can follow the instructions will be necessary for proper transmission. Cellular Phone Availability – Home Monitoring is not practical for patients who live in areas where cellular telephone networks, utilizing the GSM standard, are not available or are not likely to become available in the near future. 8 Philos DR-T Technical Manual Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Precautions for EMI interference with the Philos DR-T pulse generator are provided in the Philos technical manual in section 4.5. Sources of EMI including cellular telephones, electronic article surveillance systems, and others are discussed therein. Use in Cellular Phone Restricted Areas – The mobile patient device (transmitter/receiver) should not be utilized in areas where cellular phones are restricted or prohibited (i.e., commercial aircraft). Event Triggered Message – A timely receipt of the corresponding event report cannot be guaranteed. The receipt is also dependent on whether the patient was physically situated in the required coverage range of the patient device at the time the event information was sent. Patient-Activated Message – The magnet effect must be programmed “synchronous” if the [Patient Message] function is activated. Otherwise, this function will not be available. Not for Diagnosis – The data transmitted by Home Monitoring are not suitable for diagnosis, because not all information available in the implant is being transmitted. Follow-Ups – When using Home Monitoring, the time period between follow-up visits may not be extended. The use of Home Monitoring does not replace regular follow-up examinations. The data transmitted via Home Monitoring are not suitable for a conclusive diagnosis. Magnet Effect – The magnet effect must be programmed “synchronous” if the attending physician enables the patient to transmit messages. Lead Connection – Because of the numerous available 3.2-mm configurations (e.g., the IS-1 and VS-1 standards), lead/pulse generator compatibility should be confirmed with the pulse generator and/or lead manufacturer prior to the implantation of a pacing system. IS-1, wherever stated in this manual, refers to the international standard, whereby leads and generators from different manufacturers are assured a basic fit. [Reference ISO 5841-3:1992(E)]. Philos DR-T Technical Manual 9 Consult the Philos manual for additional warnings and precautions associated with this device. 10 Philos DR-T Technical Manual Philos DR-T Technical Manual 11 4. Types of Messages When the Home Monitoring function is activated, the transmission of a message from the implant can be triggered as follows: • Trend Message – the time period (daily) initiates the report • Event Message – the pacemaker detects certain events, which initiate a message immediately • Patient Message – the patient initiates transmission of a message The attending physician decides whether or not the patient will be able to initiate the transmission of a message on their own through application of a magnet. Transmissions initiated through magnet application do not affect event or trend message transmissions. 4.1 Event Message When certain cardiac and technical events are detected by the implant, a message transmission is automatically triggered. This is described as an “event message”. 12 Philos DR-T Technical Manual The following cardiac and technical events initiate a report: • Atrial Lead Check < 300 and > 3000 Ohm • Ventricular Lead Check < 300 and > 3000 Ohm • Ventricular Bursts (Runs) • Ventricular Events (Episodes) • Low P-Wave Amplitude1 (< 50% safety margin) • Low R-Wave Amplitude1 (< 50% safety margin) • ERI Activation • 1st Mode Switch/24 hours W ARNING A timely receipt of the corresponding event report cannot be guaranteed. The receipt is also dependent on whether the patient was physically situated in the required coverage range of the patient device at the time the event information was sent. N OTE : When ERI mode is reached, this status is transmitted. Further measurements and transmissions of Home Monitoring data are no longer possible. N OTE : 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. Event message is not triggered. B) Average of the measured P/R-Wave amplitudes is 1.9 mV. Therefore, measured value is less than 100%, but greater than 50% of the safety margin. Event message is not triggered. C) Average of the measured P/R-Wave amplitudes is 1.4 mV. Therefore, measured value is smaller than 50% of the safety margin. As a result, an event message is triggered. 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 recommended that you select a time during the late night or early morning hours (between 0:00 and 4:00), or other time when the patient is usually in his or her home. The length of the time interval (monitoring interval) is not programmable – it is preset to “daily”. 4.3 Patient Message It is possible to trigger a transmission through magnet application over the pacemaker. The attending physician must inform the patient in detail about operating the device and about the physical symptoms which would warrant a magnet application by the patient. W ARNING The magnet effect must be programmed “synchronous” if the [Patient Message] function is activated. Otherwise, this function will not be available. 14 Philos DR-T Technical Manual 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. For a trend message, the monitoring interval since the previous trend message is set at 24 hours. For an event or patient message, the monitoring interval would typically be less than 24 hours. This occurs when these messages are sent after the programmed transmission time of the trend message. 5.2 Heart Rate • Average (mean) ventricular heart rate (bpm) 5.3 Atrial Rhythm • Intrinsic rhythm (As / Ax) (%) • Number of Mode Switching • Duration of Mode Switching (%) 5.4 Ventricular Rhythm • Intrinsic rhythm (Vs/ Vx) (%) • Ventricular rate at Mode Switching (bpm) • Number of ventricular runs (4...8 sequential VES) • Number of ventricular events (more than 8 sequential VES), defined as a ventricular episode • Duration of the longest ventricular event (sec) 16 Philos DR-T Technical Manual 5.5 AV Conduction • AV Synchronicity (Ax Vx/Vx) (%) − with intrinsic rhythm (AsVs) (%) − with atrial stimulation (ApVs) (%) − with ventricular stimulation (AsVp) (%) − with dual-chamber stimulation (ApVp) (%) 5.6 System Status • Atrial lead check • Ventricular lead check • Mean P-Wave amplitude / programmed sensitivity (%) • Mean R-Wave amplitude / programmed sensitivity (%) • Battery status N OTE : Atrial and Ventricular Lead Check must be programmed ON to enable Home Monitoring functionality of this data.
