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. AF? Query button, press to check for AT/AF episode detection Record Symptoms button, press to record cardiac event data Telemetry status light Wrist strap connector Symbol and button display area 8 220875001Rev APrinting instructions: doc#163256; refer to “Implant man.” row in the applicable table. 220875_CH.fm 3/13/03 10:11 am UC200203829 EN 4.625 x 6 inches (117 mm x 152 mm) Medtronic Confidential implant_R02 ■ 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 The Patient manual includes blank lines in sections 3 and 7 for the patient’s prescription information.

TRP INC. April 3, 2002 Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Rd Columbia, MD 21036 Re: Application for TCB Grant of Certification for FCC ID: LF52696 Gentlemen: Transmitted herewith is an application for certification of a device for patient assistence. The patient assistant is a medical device that incorporates a low frequency telemetry link for the purpose of commanding and querying of an implanted device. Once the requested function is completed, capability for further assisting the patient with a graphical presentation is possible. Since the device is used for medical diagnostic test purposes, emissions from the digital electronics associated with it are exempt underthe provisions of Section 15.103(c). Sincerely, Phillip Inglis Consultant to Medtronic 14085 Howard Rd Dayton, MD 21036

Test Report

Addendum to TUV test report. This sheet shows the calculations of field strength based on the magnetic field strength measurements performed by TUV Product Service of Taylor Falls Mn as detailed in their measurement report. TRANSMITTER RADIATED EMISSIONS Frequency DBuV/m DBuV/m DBuV/mFS uV/m FS uV/m FS Limit uV/m MHz 1 m 3m 10m 10 m 300m 300m 0.15 72 60 34 50 0.05 16 0.60 57 40 16 6.3 0.07 4.0 1.0 51 30 6 2.0 0.0062.4 Extrapolation rates are based on inverse square roll off of field strength with distance. Only the highest emissions were calculated with the level being approximately 38 dB below the applicable Part 15 limit. From the above it is concluded that the unit complies with the FCC rules Subpart C Section 15.209 for intentional radiators.
