The patient can notify their provider, who evaluates if the device is working properly, and if changes need to be made to the device. Then can implement the change immediately, and patient is notified of the change.

If there is further need the provider will continue is get feedback from the patient. Rarely does a pacer ever need to be brought in house, unless the device is found to be defective, not responding to remote communication, or the battery is dying.

In this case the pacer exact last event can be determined by the facility access into the account. The only reason a pacer could be deactivated, is by a specialized medical magnet.

So, nobody from a doctor's office would try to contact them?
