Neuro Mapper vs CareLink SmartSync™ US

Neuromapper allows for a more efficient and sophisticated multi-dimensional behavioral brain mapping. It contains multiple cognitive and sensory paradigms that were selected based on current practice, known brain behavioral correlates and from review of neuroimaging and clinical research. Neuromapper allows for customized stimulus selection tailored to the patient's ability level and it will record the patient's accuracy and other sensitive behavioral metrics during baseline testing and incorporate that data into the mapping session to provide a more individualized, tailored testing approach. Neuromapper, in its current form, contains paradigms designed to assess language, learning/memory, executive functions, and vision/neglect. Additional paradigms are being researched and designed and a research consortium is being established between the Medical College and other academic centers to continue testing and developing these paradigms and to answer other important research questions about functional localization and clinical mapping.

The portable Medtronic CareLink SmartSync™ Device Manager allows clinicians to make programming changes to implantable devices in the operating suite or follow up clinic. The CareLink SmartSync™ Device Manager includes the CareLink SmartSync™ device manager app, CareLink SmartSync™ PSA app (pacing system analyzer), patient connector, base, and an Apple iPad®.* The device manager app is the primary interface of the device manager. The device manager app provides access to the implantable device apps and to the CareLink SmartSync PSA (Pacing System Analyzer) Application. This application includes the following features: • Bluetooth®* connectivity to communicate with the base and patient connector1 • Tablet connectivity tools for sharing and printing reports • Ability to export data • Ability to update the device manager app software using an Internet connection • Access to the CareLink SmartSync PSA (Pacing System Analyzer) application (referred to as the analyzer) to assess the pacing and sensing performance of the cardiac lead system during the implant of an implantable cardiac device • Access to implantable device apps, which communicate with implantable devices and allow the user to program the implantable device settings and view stored implanted device data The device manager is intended for use by healthcare professionals or Medtronic representatives in a clinical or hospital environment. * For tablet specifications, please consult www.medtronic.com/manuals. † For device compatibility, please consult www.medtronic.com/manuals.
