Remote transmission

I recently had my first remote transmission with my St Jude Merlin.
Received my report back and it said " your device is functioning within normal limits and was successfully reviewed.

My question is... Several weeks ago I read on here someone saying " when they say your device (pm) working and doing its job" does that mean it is functioning and set to your optimum setting for you?
I thought of this when I read "functioning within normal limits" .... Is there a more optimal setting and how would you intelligently ask that question...
This seems like a question for the St Jude rep....

Appreciate any feedback on this...

Thanks!

Ask your doctor if the current settings seem like they're doing their job to maintain your optimal heart health or something like that. Since you're new to this, it can be difficult to figure out what 'feels' best. Every appointment is a new revelation in my case.

Just remember that your cardiac team wants you to feel your very best. Make mental notes how you feel walking up steps, riding a bike, carrying a grandchild around, etc. every bit of info helps them determine how you're doing. It's a real process.

All the best and keep posting.
