About your monitor

The Medtronic CareLink Monitor Model 2490C is
designed to automatically gather information from your
implanted heart device. This automatic wireless
communication between your heart device and the
monitor takes place at times scheduled by your doctor or
clinic.
Sending heart device information to your clinic using
wireless technology does not require you to interact with
your monitor. The process is silent and invisible. Clinics
typically schedule the automatic process to occur while
you sleep.
The gathered heart device information is sent over a
telephone line to your clinic using a toll-free number. For
