FLEXIBLE WORKFLOW TO OPTIMIZE PATIENT CARE

The NEW Assert-IQ™ ICM features the longest lasting battery at full performance, delivering clinically actionable data, IQ insights that go beyond diagnostics, and remote programmability. Remote programming
allows you to adjust the settings of the device, optimize performance, and limit unnecessary alerts or transmissions for connected devices – all without requiring the patient to visit the clinic.

REMOTE PROGRAMMING IN THE MERLIN.NET™ PCN IS

EASY, INTUITIVE, AND SECURE

STEP 1: INITIATE A REMOTE

Click on Remote Programming from the left column then click Edit to initiate a remote programming session.

STEP 2: TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

You can choose to complete the two-factor authentication process with a text message or email.

This is a secure process to ensure only authorized personnel make programming changes.

STEP 3: MAKE SETTING ADJUSTMENTS REMOTELY & SAVE

Begin making the desired setting adjustments to optimize your patient’s device. Click Save.

Click Accept.

You can record any notes for this remote programming session in the notes section.

The pending status banner confirms the remote programming changes were sent to the patient’s myMerlin™ Mobile App.

Once the myMerlin™ Mobile App is connected to the patient’s Assert-IQ™ ICM, the adjustments will be made to the device.
You can view the status of all remote programming sessions by clicking on the Patient List tab and filtering the results by Patients with pending or unsuccessful remote programming.
Once the remote programming changes are made to the patient’s Assert-IQ ICM, a transmission will show in the Recent Transmission tab with a date and time stamp. The
Merlin.net PCN will continuously attempt to send the remote programming adjustments to the patient’s myMerlin Mobile App for 72 hours.
