INTRODUCTION
Your doctor has given you a Transmitter that is part of the St. Jude Medical®
Housecall Plus™ Remote Follow-Up System. This booklet describes this system and
explains how to set up and use the Transmitter.
What is the Housecall Plus™ System?
When you received your implanted device, your doctor programmed it to suit your
individual medical condition. Every so often, your doctor checks it to make sure that
everything is still as it should be and to see what has happened since your last
follow-up. If you have a defibrillator, your doctor may also want to check it when you
report that you have experienced an arrhythmia or have received a shock. Usually you
would have to return to the doctor’s office or follow-up center for these follow-up
sessions, but with your doctor’s permission, the Housecall Plus™ Transmitter allows
you to conduct routine follow-up sessions remotely. You stay at home while a clinician trained in follow-up reads the data stored in your device over the telephone
line.
The Housecall Plus System consists of two components: the Transmitter that you take
home with you and the Receiver located in the clinician’s office or follow-up center.
The Transmitter is shown in Figure 1-1. A description of the Transmitter follows the
illustration.
During a follow-up session, the Receiver sends instructions over the telephone line to
the Transmitter. The Transmitter then reads the data from your device and sends it to
the Receiver. (Your device continues to work normally while the Transmitter reads the
data.) Your doctor can use this data to help judge the performance of your device.
During your follow-up session, the wand rests over your device and transmits data to
the Receiver. You’ll also wear wrist straps, which read and send additional information
about your heart, such as your heart rate.
Opening the Transmitter Lid turns the Transmitter on and interrupts normal phone
functioning. When you close the lid, the Transmitter turns itself off and returns your
telephone to normal function. Closing the lid disconnects the Transmitter (even when
the wand or wrist strap wires are outside of the Transmitter).
Lights and beeping sounds let you know what is happening during the follow-up
session, so it’s important to pay attention to the lights and the beeps throughout the
session. For more information on what the lights and beeps mean, see Table 1-1 on
page 1-10.
A speakerphone has been built into the Transmitter, allowing you to speak with your
clinician without using your telephone handset.
The volume control allows you to adjust the speakerphone volume.
The instructions inside the Transmitter lid provide a quick reminder of how to use the
Transmitter.

What Does the Housecall Plus™ Transmitter Do?
During a follow-up session, the Transmitter collects and sends the data stored in your
device to the Receiver. This data includes:
• The type and serial number of your device
• The settings for your device
• What has happened since your last follow-up session
• Any electrograms (EGMs) the device has recorded
• An electrogram of your current heart rate and rhythm
• A surface ECG
• Your device’s battery status.
How Does the Transmitter Affect Your Telephone?
The Transmitter plugs into your telephone line (see Setting Up the Transmitter on
page 1-4) and uses the telephone network to transmit data to the Receiver at the clinician’s office or follow-up center. As far as your telephone is concerned, this is just
like any other telephone call. When the Transmitter is not being used, it is off and the
telephone works normally.

You can to speak to the clinician using either your telephone handset or the speakerphone that is built inside the Transmitter. However, when the Transmitter is sending
data to the Receiver, the speakerphone is disabled. If you need to speak to the clinician while the Transmitter is sending data, use your telephone handset. After you
have finished speaking with the clinician, hang up the handset to continue follow-up.
Note
In an emergency, you can speak with the clinician. You may hear some
noises for several seconds, but after that, the phone line should clear up
and you’ll be able to hear the clinician.
If someone calls during the follow-up session they will receive a busy signal, just as
they would during any other telephone call.
Note
If you have Call Waiting and someone calls while data is being sent, Call
Waiting will interrupt communication. To prevent this, Call Waiting should
be disabled during your follow-up session. For information on how to do
that, consult the information on Call Waiting provided by the telephone
company.
Before you start transmitting data, someone else may speak to the clinician on an
extension telephone. However, you must hang up all phones before you begin to
transmit data.
Closing the lid on the Transmitter automatically turns off the Transmitter. If you
forget to close the lid on the Transmitter, the Transmitter turns itself off after one hour.
Leaving the Transmitter connected to your telephone does not affect your
telephone’s normal operation. You can still make and receive calls.
Can You Use the Transmitter While Traveling?
Check with your doctor before traveling with the Transmitter. If he or she agrees that it
is all right, carefully repackage the Transmitter in its original box. You may want to carry
a telephone plug adapter in case you need to plug the Transmitter into an older
telephone jack.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical products,
especially when children are present. These include the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• DANGER! To reduce the risk of shock:
- Do not use the Transmitter while bathing.
- Do not place or store the Transmitter where it can fall or be pulled
into a tub or sink.
Important Safeguards
Draft (8/27/03)
HC+Trans(US).book Page 4 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 2:00 PM
- Do not place or drop the Transmitter into water or other liquid.
- Do not reach for a Transmitter that has fallen into water. Unplug it
immediately.
• WARNING! To reduce the risk of burns, shock, fire, or injury to persons:
- Supervision is necessary when the Transmitter is used by, on, or near
children.
- Use the Transmitter only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by
St. Jude Medical.
- Never operate the Transmitter if it is not working properly, if it has
been dropped or damaged, or if it has been dropped into water.
(Refer to Troubleshooting on page 1-11 if you suspect that the Transmitter has been damaged.) Contact your clinician for service or replacement instructions.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not operate the Transmitter on heated surfaces.
- Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
- Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are
being used. Do not operate in an oxygen-rich environment (for example, in an oxygen tent or oxygen chamber).
• KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SETTING UP THE TRANSMITTER
You can use either a push-button or rotary telephone with the Transmitter. The
telephone must have a standard (RJ-11 modular) plug that fits the jack on the back
of the Transmitter. Your wall telephone jack must also accept a standard plug. If you
have an older plug or jack, you can use an adapter that will allow you to use the
Transmitter.
Note
If your telephone is wired into the wall, you will not be able to use the
Transmitter unless you install standard jacks. If you want to do so, contact
the telephone company for help.
Note
The Transmitter is not compatible with digital phone lines or local PBX
telephone systems.
Note
Keep the original shipping box in case you need to return the Transmitter
for service.

Follow these instructions for setting up the Transmitter. (For diagrams of the
telephone-Transmitter connections, see Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3.)
1. Place the Transmitter on a sturdy, flat surface.
We recommend that you choose a convenient and comfortable spot near a
telephone jack and electrical outlet. The wand must rest on your device for
several minutes at a time. This will be easier if you are sitting or lying down comfortably. Make sure that the wand reaches you and that you are able to see the
lights on the Transmitter.

4. Plug the power supply into the back of the Transmitter
) and then into the wall electrical outlet.
The Transmitter tests itself to make sure that everything is working. During this
self-test, each of the lights blink one after the other. If the Transmitter passes the
self-test, it beeps once and the lights stop blinking and remain off. The Transmitter is now ready to use.
If the Transmitter does not pass the self-test, all of the lights blink at the same
time and you will hear a series of double beeps. Unplug the Transmitter from the
electrical outlet and plug it in again. If it still does not pass the self-test, contact
your clinician. The telephone number is listed on the inside of the Transmitter lid.
5. Once you have the Transmitter set up, leave it in place. It is not necessary to unplug it or put it away between uses. Simply tuck the wrist
straps and wand into their holders and close the lid.
THE HOUSECALL PLUS™ REMOTE FOLLOW-UP SESSION
The instructions in this section describe how to use the Transmitter during a typical
follow-up session. The clinician may give you additional instructions. There is also a
quick-reference label inside the Transmitter lid.
Before You Start the Session
1. Read your follow-up center’s follow-up routine before you begin the
session. If you have any questions, contact your clinician.
2. You will be asked to rest the wand on your device for several minutes.
Make sure that during the session you will be able to lie down or sit
comfortably and remain still throughout the session.
3. The Transmitter communicates with you through a series of flashing
lights and beeping sounds. Review Figure 1-5 on page 1-5, which shows
the position of the lights on the front of the Transmitter, and Table 1-1
on page 1-10, which describes what the lights and beeps mean and
how to respond to them.
4. Contact your clinician.
You can call the clinician or the clinician can call you. Be sure to keep the Transmitter lid closed until after you make contact with your clinician.

Using the Transmitter
1. After contacting your clinician, open the lid to turn the Transmitter on.
Opening the lid turns the Transmitter on. Closing the lid turns the Transmitter off.
When you first open the lid, the Power light goes on. If the Transmitter detects an
internal problem, all of the lights will blink at the same time and you will hear a
series of double beeps. (See Troubleshooting on page 1-11.)
2. When the clinician instructs you to position the wand, position the
wand over your device until you see the Position Wand light stop blinking and remain on and you will hear three beeps.
If the Transmitter lid is open and you are speaking on the phone with the clinician, you won’t hear any other sounds
If the Transmitter lid is closed, you will hear one beep every 10 seconds during
the interrogation.
3. The solid light means the wand is positioned correctly. Remove your
hand and allow the wand to rest on your device. (The wand has a textured surface that will help to hold it in place.)
You can position the wand by laying on your back and resting the wand on your
device or by sitting up, draping the wand around your neck and resting it on your
device, as shown in Figure 1-6.
The wand will work through a thin shirt. If your clothing is thick or if you have
trouble getting the wand to communicate with the device, place the wand
against your skin.

4. Remove the wrist straps from their cradle and put them on your wrists.
The strap with the white cord goes on your right wrist and the strap with the black
cord goes on your left wrist. The wrist straps must rest securely on your wrist, so
if the wrist straps feel too loose, push them up slightly on your arm until they are
secure.
5. The clinician will tell you when data collection begins. Relax while the
Transmitter collects the data from your device. Continue to watch and
listen to the Transmitter for instructions from the clinician.
You will hear low beeping sounds every 10 seconds coming from the Transmitter
throughout the session. Table 1-1 on page 1-10 describes what these lights and
beeps mean and how to respond to them.
You cannot use the speakerphone at the same time the data is being collected, so if you need to speak to the clinician while the Transmitter is sending
data, use your telephone handset.
Note
When you pick up your telephone handset to speak with the clinician, you
may hear some noises for several seconds. After that, the phone line
should clear up and you’ll be able to hear the clinician.
The time required to collect data can vary, depending on the amount of data that
is stored in the device memory. This may take several minutes. If communication
is disrupted, data collection must start again. This means that data collection may
take longer than expected.
6. If the Pick Up Phone light blinks and the Transmitter rings three times,
it means the clinician wants to speak with you. You can speak with him
or her using either your telephone handset or through the speaker-

phone in the Transmitter. Hang up the phone after you are done speaking with the clinician.
The Transmitter alerts you when the clinician needs to speak with you. He or she
may want to collect more data or give you additional instructions. The clinician
will let you know when the follow-up session is finished.
7.
When the follow-up session is finished, hang up the telephone and
store the wand and wrist straps inside the Transmitter. Close the lid to
turn off the Transmitter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
This section lists some of the problems you may encounter when using the Transmitter and how to solve them. If you have tried these suggestions and the Transmitter
still does not work, contact your clinician. The telephone number is listed on the
inside of the Transmitter lid.
• No lights go on when you open the lid.
Cause: No power is reaching the Transmitter or it is not turned on.
To correct the problem: Open up the lid and make sure that the power cord is
plugged in to both the wall outlet and the back of the Transmitter. Close the
Transmitter lid and open it again.
• All of the lights blink continuously and you hear a series of double
beeps.
Cause: The Transmitter has failed the self-test of its software and circuits.
To correct the problem: Unplug the Transmitter from the electrical outlet and plug
it in again. If all of the lights still blink continuously, contact your clinician.
• The Position Wand light is blinking and you hear a continuous series of
three beeps.
Cause (1): The wand is out of position. It cannot read the data from your device.
To correct the problem: Move the wand over the device until the Position Wand
light stops blinking. Remove your hand and allow the wand to rest on your
device. If you are wearing heavy clothing, place the wand against your skin.
Troubleshooting
Draft (8/27/03)

HC+Trans(US).book Page 12 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 2:00 PM
Make sure that there are no sources of electrical interference in the area (for
example, television sets, computer monitors, fluorescent lights, etc.). If there are,
turn them off or move the Transmitter and wand farther away from them.
Cause (2): The telephone connection has been interrupted.
To correct the problem: Close the Transmitter lid. The clinician will then call you
back and instruct you on what to do next. When you see the Pick Up Phone light
blink and you hear the Transmitter ring three times, you need to speak with your
clinician. Use either your telephone handset or the Transmitter’s speakerphone to
listen to your clinician’s instructions. It’s important to follow all of the instructions
your clinician gives you.
