If you have any questions not answered by this manual, or if you have any problems with your CareLink Monitor, talk to your doctor. Your doctor knows your medical history and can give you the help you need. When to use your CareLink Monitor The CareLink Monitor is an electronic device that provides an easy way for your doctor to obtain information about your implanted device. The CareLink Monitor gathers this information to allow your doctor to manage your care. Your CareLink Monitor is intended specifically for your use only. It will not work with other implanted devices and should only be used by you as directed by your doctor. Unauthorized use by others with implanted devices could interrupt the prescribed operation of their device. When not to use your CareLink Monitor Warning:If you are feeling ill and you think you might need to go to the hospital, seek medical attention immediately. If there is an emergency, call 911 or follow other instructions from your doctor. Do not use your 220548001Rev A Refer to the “Med/Vit_Lds_Cath” category in doc#163256 for Printing Instructions 2490.fm 1/10/02 9:33 am UC200200183 EN xxx release Draft 2 Medtronic Confidential PtMan_mdvtldct 4 CareLink Monitor to send your medical information to your doctor unless you have already contacted your doctor and your doctor has requested that you use your CareLink Monitor. Warning:To ensure the safe operation of your implanted device, only use the CareLink Monitor as described in this manual and at the times prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a scheduled time to send data, consult with your doctor. Warning:If you feel ill after positioning the antenna, remove the antenna from over your implanted device and turn "off" your CareLink Monitor. If you still feel ill, contact your doctor. Warning:Your CareLink Monitor’s antenna contains a strong magnet; however, the monitor has been designed for use with your implanted device. To ensure proper function of your implanted device when not using the monitor, avoid other strong magnets, such as those used in some stereo speakers, bingo wands, extractor wands, magnetic badges, and magnetic therapy products. Warning:To ensure proper operation of your implanted device, always turn on the CareLink Monitor before positioning the antenna. Follow the instructions in this manual about positioning the antenna over your implanted device. 5 220548001Rev A Refer to the “Med/Vit_Lds_Cath” category in doc#163256 for Printing Instructions 2490.fm 1/10/02 9:33 am UC200200183 EN xxx release Draft 2 Medtronic Confidential PtMan_mdvtldct Warning:Do not use the antenna if your CareLink Monitor does not operate as described in “Using your CareLink Monitor” on page 12. Check the batteries as described in “Battery status” on page 17. If you need further assistance, contact your clinic. Precautions  Do not use a cellular phone while the antenna is positioned over your implanted device.  If possible, avoid using the telephone while using your CareLink Monitor. Your phone line will be "busy" while your CareLink Monitor is sending data. Note: In the case of an emergency, you can use your phone to call for help. If you have an emergency and the CareLink Monitor is "on" (power status light is lit), press the Power button to turn the CareLink Monitor "off" (power status light is not lit) and to ensure your phone line is available.  You can use your CareLink Monitor away from your home. However, you will need to keep the following requirements in mind: –If you are using a telephone line that requires you to dial a number (usually “9”) to make an outside call, make sure that the telephone line settings are correct. See “Verifying the telephone line settings” on page 10.  Your CareLink Monitor is designed for use in the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. 220548001Rev A Refer to the “Med/Vit_Lds_Cath” category in doc#163256 for Printing Instructions 2490.fm 1/10/02 9:33 am UC200200183 EN xxx release Draft 2 Medtronic Confidential PtMan_mdvtldct 6 About your CareLink Monitor Figure 1The CareLink Monitor (front view, approximately 1/4 actual size) The CareLink Monitor (Figure 1) uses an antenna that is permanently attached to the monitor to gather information from your implant…

TRP INC. January 22, 2002 Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Rd Columbia, MD 21036 Re: Application for TCB Grant of Certification for FCC ID: LF52490A Gentlemen: Transmitted herewith is an application for certification of a device called a Carelink Monitor. The Carelink Monitor is a medical device that incorporates a low frequency telemetry link for the purpose of querying and retrieving stored patient data from an implanted device. Once the data is retrieved, it can be sent to the physician via the telephone line through an internal modem. Since the device is used for medical diagnostic test purposes, the digital electronics associated with it are exempt under the provisions of Section 15.103(c). This Monitor uses a unique portable Base Module and a Telemetry Module with the identical RF transmit head that was granted certification under FCC ID:LF58840 on September 9, 2001 to achieve the above functionality. Therefore the RF test data, photos of the telemetry module, printed circuit boards for the telemetry module, and inductive loop coil filed for the above application are applicable to the application for this unit FCC ID:2490A. Sincerely, Phillip Inglis Consultant to Medtronic 14085 Howard Rd Dayton, MD 21036
