CVRS Co-founder Amber Seiler walks through the abstract “Impact of Device Reprogramming Protocols on Non-Actionable Unscheduled Transmission Burden in a Large Remote Monitoring Population” at HRS 2026.
In device clinics, we have guidelines on how we should go about reprogramming devices. But, we are lacking data that shows the effectiveness of alert reprogramming. Understanding the value of these protocols is essential for optimizing staffing and operational efficiency across large device patient populations.
In one clinic, we evaluated 42,521 transmissions from 6,689 devices over a 12 month period. Of the 1,162 of those transmissions that were associated with a reprogramming intervention, 60% did not recur after reprogramming. During the study period, non-scheduled transmissions decreased from 53.1% to 34.2%, greatly lowering the clinic’s transmission burden. Reprogramming is an effective tool. When combined with a strong workflow and proactive alert management, clinics can see sustained improvement on operational burden.
