About Merlin@home

What is the Merlin@home Transmitter?

If you have been provided a Merlin@home™ Transmitter you can securely transmit data from your Abbott implanted cardiac device to your doctor or clinic without having to visit in person.

The Merlin@home Transmitter is a bedside home monitor that is provided post-implant to perform remote follow-up. The Transmitter is designed to allow information from your device to be sent to your doctor or clinic from the comfort of your home.

This device can:

  • Read data from your implanted device and send data from your home.
  • Send automatic transmissions on a schedule determined by your doctor or clinic so that you don’t have to worry about remembering to send data (Models EX1150 and EX1150W only).
  • Send a manual (unscheduled) transmission when requested by your doctor or clinic.
  • Allow your doctor or clinic the opportunity to receive timely information about your Abbott implanted cardiac device from the Merlin.net™ Patient Care Network (the portal for your doctor or clinic).

How the Merlin@home Transmitter works

The Transmitter collects a variety of information from your Abbott implanted cardiac device and sends it to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network (PCN), where your doctor or clinic can view the information. This information includes:

  • Device model and serial number
  • Device settings
  • Device event history (what has happened since the last follow-up session)
  • Device battery status
     

What does your doctor or clinic do with the data they receive?

The information collected from your implanted cardiac device is securely sent to your doctor or clinic by the Merlin@home Transmitter. Each doctor or clinic manages their patients’ data differently.

Your doctor or clinic reviews the key elements of the data to assess the battery status, recorded episodes, and device operation.

Merlin@home Transmitter Models

You may have one of three Merlin@home Transmitter models: EX1150 or EX1150W RF Merlin@home Transmitter, or EX1100 Inductive Merlin@home Transmitter.

The RF Merlin@home Transmitter, Models EX1150 and EX1150W, can perform the following functions:

Models EX1150 and EX1150W Merlin@home Transmitters use radio frequency (RF) telemetry to automatically communicate with your Abbott implanted cardiac device every day.

  • Encrypt your transmissions to ensure the safety of your health information

The Model EX1100 Merlin@home Transmitter uses inductive telemetry to communicate on demand with your Abbott implanted cardiac device. For your doctor or clinic to receive information about how your device is performing, you will need to perform a manual recording of your device’s data. The Merlin@home Transmitter will securely send data collected from your Abbott implanted cardiac device to your clinic.
