Possible technical failures
In principle, technical failures in the device due to component failures cannot be ruled
out; they occur, however, very rarely. Possible causes of such malfunctions include the
following:
• Battery depletion
• Lead dislocation
• Lead fracture
• Insulation defects
Programmer
The portable programmer is used to transfer the current device program to the device.
In addition to this, the programmer is used for interrogation and storage of data from
the device. The programmer acts as an ECG and IEGM monitor with Miniclinic.
The programmer communicates with the device via the programming head. It has a TFT
touch screen with a color display, on which the ECG, IEGM, marker and functions are
shown simultaneously.

The programmer has, among others, the following functions:
• Perform all tests during in-office follow-up
• Display and print real-time and saved IEGMs with annotated markers
• Determine the pacing threshold
Device variants with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring
In addition to effective ICD therapy, a complete therapy management system is avail-
able.
In order to detect asymptomatic events at an early stage and intervene in time if neces-
sary, an ICD system with Home Monitoring checks its status at certain intervals and
provides information about the patient's cardiac situation.
The CardioMessenger II is a mobile quadband modem with a broadband power supply
for international application. It has a lithium ion battery which is sufficient for at least
24 hours of use. The device transmits diagnostic, therapeutic, and technical informa-
tion to the mobile transmitter CardioMessenger II via the antenna in the header using
RF-2 telemetry.
These data are sent to the BIOTRONIK Service Center via the cellular telephone net-
work. There, they are accessible to the patient's physician via the Internet.
