Connectivity Media Kit

Connectivity refers to a physician's ability to remotely monitor patients and maintain the device data they receive in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which are accessible through the Internet. The intersection of the Internet and mobile technologies with innovative medical device therapies has created the ability to advance patient care through remote monitoring and EHR management. At St. Jude Medical, connectivity involves the communication between our devices, our Merlin.net® Patient Care Network, our Merlin@home® Transmitter and EHRs.

There are many components involved in connectivity:

• Programmer - Used in the physician's office to establish and optimize the device settings
• Patient Care Network - Stores device information or transfers the information to an electronic health record
• Device - Transmits remotely using radiofrequency
• Unit - Allows patients to transmit data at home from their device to their physician
