Best practices and troubleshooting tips to stay connected

Your myLUX™ app on your smartphone or the Boston Scientific provided mobile device transmits your heart rhythm data stored on your LUX-Dx™ ICM to your health care team. It is very important to keep your app connected so your health care team can continue monitoring your heart rhythm remotely. Keep these best practices in mind.

Connected

A blue screen with a check mark icon means your devices are connected and your monitoring is up to date.

1. Plug in and charge your smartphone or mobile device each night.

Tap the button to check your connection and follow the on-screen instructions. A message will confirm when your app is connected.

Recording your symptoms

Your health care team will let you know if you need to record symptoms in your myLUX Patient app and which symptoms you should record. If your app doesn’t have a Record Symptoms button, that means your clinic hasn’t enabled this feature. If you have been asked to record symptoms in your myLUX app, be sure to record symptoms when you first feel them for accuracy.

Step 1

Tap Record Symptoms on your app’s main screen.

Sending manual transmissions

For the most part, the LUX-Dx ICM system automatically collects and sends your recorded heart rhythms to your health care team. Occasionally, your care team may also ask you to send a manual transmission, but these should only be sent when you are asked to do so by your health care team.
