During an in-office pacemaker check, our team will monitor the device to ensure it is continuing to function as intended. This typically involves using a special wand to communicate with the device and retrieve information like battery life, lead impedances, and captured rhythms.
For our patients with implantable devices, we offer remote monitoring services. This allows us to monitor the device in real-time from a remote location, reducing the need for in-person office visits. Our remote monitoring program also alerts us to any issues or changes that arise, enabling us to take prompt, proactive action to address any concerns.
