Merlin@home Wireless USB Adapter Eliminates Need for Landline

The Merlin@home system, which was introduced back in 2008, consists of a RF wireless transmitter that enables remote monitoring of implantable cardiac devices. Until now a landline was needed to securely transmit patient data to the physician. However, with more and more people exclusively using a mobile phone, St. Jude Medical now has launched a wireless USB adapter which enables sending cardiac data over cellular networks. The adapter can be plugged into existing Merlin@home transmitters, after which it automatically sends the data through the internet-based Merlin.net Patient Care Network. Now you have one more reason to throw out that good old, but rusty, landline!
