I also have Medtronic Azure and switched to monitoring my device with iPhone app. It goes w me everywhere, though the PM is programmed to record all events even if phone wasn’t within 3 feet. In other words, it catches up. As for the FDA warning, there were 3 patients 3 yrs ago that the battery was depleting..2 were caught immediately during implanting. There have been no other battery events.
You should be able to talk w device staff where your PM is being monitored ..don’t rely on office nurse. I will leave it with not all electrophysiology doctor offices are equal. I switched back to having Mayo’s monitor mine( had my PM installed at Mayo’s), local office was woefully incompetent.
