1 Description and intended use
The Model 2696 InCheckTM Patient Assistant shown on Figure 1
is a hand-held, battery powered, radio frequency communication
device. The Patient Assistant communicates with certain
implantable Medtronic cardiac devices that provide patient-
activated features. See the manual for the implanted device for
compatibility information.
The Patient Assistant can send simple programming commands
to the implanted device, and receive and display information about
the patient’s cardiac rhythm.
Figure 1. Patient Assistant (Not actual size)
Intended use – The Patient Assistant is intended for
unsupervised patient use away from a hospital or clinic. The
Patient Assistant activates one or more of the patient
management features in the implanted device, depending on the
implanted device model and the programmed features:
■To verify whether the implanted device has detected a
suspected atrial arrhythmia.

■To initiate recording of cardiac event data in the implanted
device memory.
■To request atrial cardioversion therapy, if supported by the
implanted device and patient activated therapy has been
previously programmed by the physician. Therapy is allowed
when the implanted device is currently detecting an atrial
arrhythmia episode and all conditions for delivering therapy
have been met.
Note:
■Ventricular arrhythmia therapy cannot be patient activated
using the Patient Assistant.
2 Contents of the Patient Assistant box
The following should be found in the Patient Assistant box:
■One Patient Assistant
■Two N-size 1.5 V batteries
■One carrying case
■One wrist strap
■One physician’s manual
■One quick reference guide/patient ID card
■Two warranty cards (USA and outside USA)
■One patient manual

2.1 Inspection
Inspect the Patient Assistant for damage or defects. If the case is
cracked or other defects are discovered, return the Patient
Assistant to Medtronic.
2.2 Installation and setup
Place new batteries in the Patient Assistant (see page 20).
Press either front panel button to test the Patient Assistant. The
telemetry status light flashes green for about 15 seconds, and the
Patient Assistant gives a short beep. This confirms that the
batteries can operate correctly.
Provide the necessary information in the Patient manual and
Quick Reference Guide/Patient ID Card.
Refer to the implantable device reference manual for information
about its features that apply to the Patient Assistant.
3 Checking the patient’s heart rhythm
3.1 How to check the patient’s heart rhythm
Note: The Patient Assistant may not communicate at full
strength outside the range of 8 °C (16 °F) to 43 °C (110 °F).

6 Battery information
6.1 Replacement batteries
The Patient Assistant operates with two N-size 1.5 volt batteries.
The recommended battery type is alkaline manganese dioxide,
type ANSI/NEDA 910A and IEC LR1. This battery is available
from the following manufacturers:
■Duracell Model MN9100
■Kodak Model KN
■Rayovac Model RN-2
■Panasonic Model AM5
■Varta Model 4001

7 Maintenance
7.1 Care and handling
The Patient Assistant is designed for robust use, to be carried and
handled on a daily basis. However, it is a precision electronic
instrument and precautions should be taken to avoid damage.
To preserve battery life, remove the batteries when the Patient
Assistant is not used for long periods of time or exposed to
temperatures below 15 °C (60 °F).
Electronic devices are susceptible to many environmental
stresses. Precautions should be taken to avoid damage to the
unit, including (but not limited to) those listed here.
Precautions:
■To prevent unintentional delivery of patient-activated therapy,
instruct your patient not to carry the Patient Assistant in a
pocket directly over the implanted device.
■Do not immerse the Patient Assistant in liquid.
■Do not clean the Patient Assistant with solvents or chlorine
based cleansers (for example, nail polish remover or bleach).
■Do not drop the Patient Assistant or mishandle it in a way that
might physically damage the Patient Assistant.
■Avoid spilling fluid on the Patient Assistant. Do not immerse in
liquid.
■Do not open the Patient Assistant, except to install batteries.
■Do not sterilize the device by gamma irradiation and do not
steam sterilize (autoclave) the Patient Assistant.

■Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can impair the proper
performance of the Patient Assistant. Normal operation can
be restored by moving away from the source of the
interference.
■Other environmental factors may impact proper performance
of the Patient Assistant. Use of good electronic device
practices will help to prevent environmental damage to the
unit.
7.2 Cleaning
■Be careful to prevent moisture from entering the Patient
Assistant. The Patient Assistant is moisture resistant, but not
waterproof.
■Clean the outside of the Patient Assistant with a slightly damp
cloth. Mild household cleaners will not damage the case or
labels.
7.3 Service
The Medtronic Model 2696 InCheckTM Patient Assistant has been
carefully engineered, manufactured and quality tested to provide
long, trouble-free service. Should service or repair be necessary,
contact your local Medtronic representative at the appropriate
address or telephone number on the back cover of this document.
Please refer to the model number (Model 2696) and serial number
(located on the rear panel) when calling Medtronic.
7.4 Disposal
Follow local regulations for proper disposal of the Patient
Assistant at the end of its useful service life.
