WHY LONG-TERM MONITORING MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU

Accurate information is the key to better healthcare.

Irregular heartbeats may occur infrequently, making the underlying condition hard to find and treat. With continuous, long-term monitoring, your doctor can get information about your heart to help find the right answer for you.

The LINQ II System includes:

  1. A small insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) that is placed just under the skin during a minimally invasive procedure.
  2. Either a smartphone/tablet app or home communicator that collects heart rhythm data from the ICM and sends it to your doctor.

Patient benefits:

  • MRI Compatible* — safe for MRI at 1.5 and 3.0T with no post-insertion waiting required1,2
  • Discreet — not visible in most patients
  • Portable — the MyCareLink Heart™ mobile app goes wherever you go (cellular and Wi-Fi service availability applies)
  • Accurate — the LINQ II™ ICM is the world’s most accurate ICM1
  • Longevity — detects abnormal heart rhythms for 4.5 years†1

  • Send this information to your clinic the next time the app pairs.

An alternative monitoring option: MyCareLink Relay Home Communicator

MyCareLink Relay Home Communicator is designed for bedside use. Similar to the app, MyCareLink Relay automatically transmits device data to the CareLink network (where cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity is available).
