Merlin Logon Mode
If you enable the Merlin Logon mode, users can log in to the Hospital Electronics System with their Merlin.net PCN username and
password. This allows users from different clinics to share the same system.
You can only view the list of patients that are also available to your clinic on the Merlin.net Patient Care Network Heart Failure
Management Application.
Remote Access
To troubleshoot an issue with your system, the Remote Access feature is available. A technician can log in to your system remotely
when you enable this feature. For more information, contact Technical Support.
Software Update
Updates to the Hospital Electronics System software occur occasionally. If a network connection is available, the system
automatically checks for an update after transferring the data from the first new implant or follow-up readings of the day.
If a software update is available, the system prompts you to install it:
 Select the Yes button to download and install the software.
The update takes approximately 20 minutes depending on the network connection.
 Select the No button if you do not want to install the software.
To update the software at any time, select the Patient Options button on the Settings screen and then select the Software
Update button.
If your Hospital Electronics System does not have a network connection, software updates are installed with a USB flash drive by
St. Jude Medical™.
