device other than a Boston Scientific device.
Ask your health care provider if you have questions
about any risks with using the Communicator or your English
implanted device. There is also valuable information
about risks and reliability in the patient handbook for
your implanted device.

How the Communicator Works
The Communicator is designed to communicate with
your implanted device wirelessly. There are three
ways it may collect data from your implanted device.

1. Routine Device Checks
Depending on your implanted device, the
Communicator may perform an automatic
daily device check or a prompted weekly
device check. The Communicator checks in
with your implanted device and will collect
and send data to your doctor when needed.
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the flashing Heart button.

2. Remote Scheduled Follow-ups
The Communicator performs remote
scheduled follow-ups on a schedule set by
your health care provider. The Communicator
performs a full interrogation (collects and
sends data from your implanted device).
This may happen automatically without your
knowledge or the Communicator may prompt
you to press the flashing Heart button.
