REMOTE, MINIMALLY INVASIVE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION BY MEDTRONIC

Smallest Implantable ECG Monitor to Continuously Collect Data

Medtronic has just released the smallest implantable cardiac monitoring device currently available on the market. The compact Reveal LINQ monitor is also the only implantable cardiac monitor that collects data continuously and wirelessly for up to three years; not only can the device store data, but it communicates remotely with a MyCareLink patient monitor, which taps Medtronic’s Carelink® Network. This powerful tool provides doctors with patient data and notifications, empowering physicians to make earlier clinical decisions based on CareLink’s customizable, actionable and comprehensive reports. The Reveal LINQ implantable ECG monitor is designed for patients at risk for cardiac arrhythmia or patients that show symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. It provides unparalleled preventative care by notifying cardiologists of detected atrial fibrillation events, classed by rhythm using an exclusive detection algorithm.
