Review and adjust alert
programming
Each cardiovascular implantable electrical device transmission alert is critically reviewed
by a credentialed clinician. If the event is a known clinical event that has been previously
addressed, the specific alert may be programmed OFF and it is no longer considered an
actionable event. If this is not a known clinical event, more information is needed about the
patient's status. Based on the review of additional information, the alert may be adjusted or
programmed OFF.
Timeline recommendations for alert management
COR LOE Recommendations
1 C-EO 1. For the care of patients with CIEDs on RM, it is
recommended that patients and their caregivers be informed
that automatic alerts transmitted by RM do not substitute for
an emergency management system.
2a C-EO 2. For the care of patients with CIEDs on RM, it is reasonable
for clinics to review and react to high-priority alerts within
1 business day.
