Do I need to bring my CardioMessenger when I travel?
Please ask your doctor. In general, we recommend you bring your CardioMessenger and plug it in
next to where you sleep if you are travelling for a period greater than 3 weeks.
If you have a diagnostic device, such as a BioMonitor (Implantable Loop Recorder) it is advisable to
bring your CardioMessenger with you travelling.
For more information about travelling overseas or if you do not wish to bring your CardioMessenger
while travelling, please fill out the Patient Request Form
here
and include the dates of your travel.
Please note
Your Implantable Cardiac Device will not transmit medical messages while you are away from the
CardioMessenger. If you intend to be away from your CardioMessenger for a period of 60 days or
greater, you may need to make an appointment to have your BIOTRONIK Remote Monitoring
manually reactivated in your doctor’s clinic on your return. This does not apply to patients with
implantable defibrillators. Monitoring will remain active on these devices.
