Can remote monitoring be used with any ICD or pacemaker?

Pacemakers and ICDs are very complex medical devices and are subject to continual evaluation and improvement. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, not all devices have the option of remote monitoring.

Many centres are currently evaluating the possibility of using remote technology, but not all devices have this option. If your implanting centre is one of the evaluation centres, or is using devices with this facility, you may be offered the opportunity to have this function.
