1 About the Device
General Description
DataBridge is connected to the BIOTRONIK Renamic programmer. If the Renamic is equipped with a
certificate for communication with BIOTRONIK, information is transmitted via the 4G mobile network
(LTE) using DataBridge. The information can be transmitted from the programmer to BIOTRONIK and
vice versa.
Objective
In this technical manual, you will find information on how to use DataBridge. Topics such as start-up,
cleaning and disinfection, disposal and transport, among other things, are explained.
This technical manual does not contain any information on the Renamic programmer or its functions.
For a description of these functions, refer to the technical manuals of the programmer and the
associated software of the programmer. You will also find information in the technical manual of the
programmer arising from its use, such as operating environments or use with high-frequency surgical
instruments.
Intended Purpose
DataBridge provides capabilities for cellular communication between the Renamic programmer and
cellular mobile networks.
Indications, Contraindications, and Expected Clinical Benefit
DataBridge is used exclusively for the transmission of information via mobile networks. Therefore, it
has no indications, no contraindications, and no expected clinical benefit.
Residual Risk
The risk analysis carried out by the manufacturer's Risk Management team has determined that the
residual risk is at the lowest possible level. Prerequisites for this are the intended use of a device that
has been serviced and inspected according to the manufacturer's specifications by qualified medical
staff and the compliance with the safety-relevant instructions in this technical manual.
Intended user
The use of the device and the technical manual are intended for trained and experienced physicians,
hospital technicians and nursing staff, general practitioners, as well as sales representatives of
BIOTRONIK, who are familiar with the following topics:
• Use of implantable pacemakers, ICDs, or implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs)
• Risks and possible contraindications accompanying the use of these systems
• Experience with programmers for implantable devices
The user of the programmer performs:
• Follow-up and emergency follow-up
• Implantation support with post-implantation follow-up
BIOTRONIK offers user trainings for specific target groups. Current information on training and
education opportunities can be requested from: [email protected]

Product identification
Each product is identified by a so-called unique device identification (UDI), which contains product-
specific information. In addition, a basic identifier called B-UDI-DI (basic – unique device identification –
device identifier) is assigned to several products.
The B-UDI-DI is: 4035479BUDI00052Q5
Using this B-UDI-DI, it will be possible to search the European Database on Medical Devices
(EUDAMED) for additional information on the product.
Reporting of Serious Incidents
Report any serious incident that has occurred with the device to the manufacturer and to the competent
authority.
The competent authority can be found at: https://ec.europa.eu

Safety Messages
WARNING
Safety information
The installation and use of the device are subject to special operating conditions and possible
complications and risks.
• Pay careful attention to all the safety information in this section and in the entire technical
manual.
WARNING
Function impairment due to damage
Mechanical impact, for example dropping the unit – even from a height of just 5cm if unpackaged
– can permanently impair the function of the device.
• Do not use the device if it shows visible damage.
Technical Manuals
Technical manuals are either included in hard copy form in the storage package or available in digital
form on the internet: https://manuals.biotronik.com.
1. Consult all relevant technical manuals.
2. Keep the technical manuals for future reference.
To ensure safe operation, in addition to this technical manual, please also consult the following
technical manuals:
• Technical manuals for the programmer and its accessories
• Technical manuals for the programmer's software
• Technical manuals for other devices, such as external monitors
Liquids
• Never use a damp or wet device.
• Protect the device from accidental ingression of fluids (e.g., infusion fluids).
• Protect the device from condensation.
Changes not permitted
Only the manufacturer BIOTRONIK or a party expressly authorized by the manufacturer may perform
corrective maintenance, enhancements, or modifications to the device.
Using in combination with high-frequency devices
The device is protected against damage when using it in conjunction with high-frequency surgical
instruments. Even though this protection was tested, its effectiveness depends on the strength, wave
shape, and transmission path of the induced current.
• Perform a test after any application with HF surgical equipment, see Test before Each Use
[Page5].
Safety during Use
Current Software Version
5
Current Software Version
The function of the device depends on the correct software version of the Renamic programmer.
1. Make sure that the current software version is installed on Renamic.
At least PSW software version 2201 or higher must be installed on it. The device does not work with
older software versions.
Software is available for download on the internet at software.biotronik.com, or by contacting
BIOTRONIK.
Setup Location
• Only operate the device in rooms that fulfill the following conditions:
– Suitable for medical purposes
– No danger of explosion
• Place the device on a flat, dry surface.
• The device should be placed in a manner that does not allow it to slip, even while the cable is
connected, and so that it is protected against liquids and moisture. Also, ensure that the patient
only comes into contact with the applied parts, namely the programming head, ECG cable, and
patient cable for the PSA on the programmer.
• Make sure that you can easily connect and disconnect the USB connector.
• To avoid interference, place the device at least 30 cm away from other radio equipment.
• Do not touch any exposed plug connections such as USB ports and the patient at the same time.
Test before Each Use
A short test should be performed prior to each use of the device. This includes a visual inspection:
1. Inspect the housing for mechanical damage, dents, loose parts, cracks, etc.
2. Inspect the cables (for insulation, fractures, etc.) and cable connection areas.
3. Perform a simple electrical function test: With the device connected, switch on the Renamic
programmer.
If you find any damage or failures, please contact BIOTRONIK.
Connecting
The function of the device can only be used with the BIOTRONIK Renamic programmer. Ensure the
following conditions are met:
• The Renamic must be equipped with a certificate for communication with BIOTRONIK. This is
ensured for devices that are already equipped with a UMTS module. You can tell whether the
Renamic is equipped with a UMTS module by the "UMTS" identification on the backside of the
Renamic.
• To avoid interference in communication, do not connect the device to the Renamic during
implantation or follow-ups.
• DataBridge must be connected to the Renamic USB port.
• Only one DataBridge may be connected to a Renamic.
• Do not touch any exposed plug connections such as USB ports and the patient at the same time.

software is installed, you must update and install the latest software.
2. Switch off the Renamic.
3. Connect the USB connector of the device to the Renamic USB port.
4. Switch on the Renamic.
Result
When the Renamic is ready for use after successful start-up, the DataBridge on/off light indicator turns
green. On the Renamic user interface, the number [4] is displayed in the status bar next to the symbol
for the signal strength of the mobile connection.
On/Off light indicator
The on/off light indicator is located on the top side of DataBridge. It is an open circle. The on/off light
indicator is only visible and continuously lit green when DataBridge is connected and the Renamic is
turned on.
