The new wireless USB adaptor is a small device that plugs into new and existing Merlin@home transmitters, according to the company. The transmitter typically sits on a patient’s bedside table and wirelessly communicates with the patient’s device while they are asleep. Dec 30, 2015 - The Merlin@home wireless transmitter is part of Merlin™ Patient Management, a suite of solutions designed to streamline your workflow,.

The testo 510i Smart Probe is a wireless differential pressure probe used for accurate low-pressure measurements.

• • • • • • • • • Date Issued: January 9, 2017 Audience: • Patients with a radio frequency (RF)-enabled St. Jude Medical implantable cardiac device and corresponding Merlin@home Transmitter • Caregivers of patients with an RF-enabled St. Activation code mcafee. Jude Medical implantable cardiac device and corresponding Merlin@home Transmitter • Cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and primary care physicians treating patients with heart failure or heart rhythm problems using an RF-enabled St. Jude Medical implantable cardiac device and corresponding Merlin@home Transmitter Medical Specialties: Cardiac Electrophysiology, Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Heart Failure Device: St. Jude Medical implantable cardiac devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, and resynchronization devices) provide pacing for slow heart rhythms and electrical shock or pacing to stop dangerously fast heart rhythms. These cardiac devices are implanted under the skin in the upper chest area with connecting insulated wires called 'leads' that go into the heart.

A patient may need an implantable cardiac device if their heartbeat is too slow (bradycardia), too fast (tachycardia), or needs coordination to treat heart failure. Jude Medical Merlin@home Transmitter uses a home monitor that transmits and receives RF signals used to wirelessly connect to the patient's implanted cardiac device and read the data stored on the device. The transmitter, located in the patient's home, sends the patient's data to his or her physician(s) via the Merlin.net Patient Care Network using a continuous landline, cellular, or wireless ('wi-fi') Internet connection. When connected to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network, patients can direct their data to be uploaded or it can be automatically uploaded.

Uploading a patient's data to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network allows his or her physician(s) to more frequently receive, assess, and monitor the patient's implantable cardiac device's function, which supports patient safety, and may reduce the number of in-office visits a patient needs. Purpose: The FDA is providing information and recommendations regarding St. Jude Medical's radio frequency (RF)-enabled implantable cardiac devices and Merlin@home Transmitter to reduce the risk of patient harm due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. For the purposes of this safety communication, cybersecurity—also sometimes referred to as 'information security'—focuses on protecting patients' medical devices and their associated computers, networks, programs, and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change, or destruction. Summary of Problem and Scope: Many medical devices—including St. Jude Medical's implantable cardiac devices—contain configurable embedded computer systems that can be vulnerable to cybersecurity intrusions and exploits. As medical devices become increasingly interconnected via the Internet, hospital networks, other medical devices, and smartphones, there is an increased risk of exploitation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, some of which could affect how a medical device operates.
