Summary

In this procedure, the provider evaluates a pacemaker by rhythm strip over the telephone. She reviews the pacemaker data and confirms the function of each of the leads, battery, capture, and sensing by transtelephonic monitoring strip once without the magnet and then again with the magnet over the pacemaker. Therefore, she assesses the pacemaker’s function and the time interval to the next analysis, including the review and report of a single, dual, or multiple lead pacemaker system.
