Important Safety Information

Important safety information
LINQ family of insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) systems and accessories

The Reveal LINQ™ ICM is an insertable automatically-activated and patient-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in the following cases:

  • patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias
  • patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, and chest pain, that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia

This device has not been tested specifically for pediatric use.

The LINQ II™ ICM is an insertable automatically-activated and patient-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in adult patients, and in pediatric patients who are at least 2 years old, in the following cases:

  • patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias
  • patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, and chest pain that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia

Possible risks associated with the implant of a LINQ Family ICM (LINQ II ICM or Reveal LINQ ICM) include, but are not limited to, infection at the surgical site, device migration, erosion of the device through the skin and/or sensitivity to the device material. Accessories available for use with LINQ Family ICMs may experience connectivity or performance issues. See product manuals for details and troubleshooting instructions.

LINQ Family ICMs are prescribed by your physician and are not for everyone. Please talk to your doctor to see if it is right for you. Your physician should discuss all potential benefits and risks with you. Although many patients benefit from the use of this product, results may vary. For further information, please call the Medtronic toll-free number at 1-800-551-5544 (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, Central Time) or see the Medtronic website at www.medtronic.com.

Your doctor may recommend an insertable heart monitor, also known as a “loop recorder,” if you’re experiencing symptoms that could be related to your heart.

It has put my mind, my heart, and my body at rest, knowing that I have the Medtronic LINQ™.

Stroke

Stroke patients are at high risk for atrial fibrillation (AFib), which may lead to another stroke.

Atrial fibrillation management

AFib is a common condition but, if left untreated, it can lead to stroke.

Unexplained fainting

People faint for many reasons, but it can be a sign of an underlying heart condition.

Heart palpitations

Heart palpitations are relatively common, but can be a sign of a more serious heart condition.

Speak to a heart specialist.

If you’re experiencing symptoms that may indicate a heart condition, you may need to speak to a heart doctor (cardiologist) or a special kind of cardiologist known as an electrophysiologist. A cardiologist acts as the “plumber” of the heart and deals with the heart and its blood vessels, while an electrophysiologist acts as the “electrician” of the heart and manages its electrical signals.

Find a doctor.

Type in your ZIP code to find a doctor near you who has experience with insertable heart monitors for heart palpitations, unexplained fainting, stroke, and AFib.

Cost and insurance coverage

Insertable heart monitors, also known as loop recorders or ICMs, have been available for more than 20 years and are widely covered by Medicare and private providers. Ask your insurance provider for information on coverage for your specific condition and any costs or copays you’d incur for implant or ongoing monitoring with an implanted heart monitor.
