GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR REVEAL LINQ ICM SYSTEM
Information on insertion and home setup for the Reveal LINQ™ Insertable Cardiac Monitoring System
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR REVEAL LINQ SYSTEM
If you’re ready to move forward with the Reveal LINQ System, this is what you can expect to get the system up and running.
The Insertion Procedure
The Reveal LINQ ICM insertion procedure is performed in a hospital but it’s a simple and minimally-invasive procedure that can be done quickly.
- A small incision — less than 1 cm — is made in the skin on your chest.
- Using a specifically-designed tool, the Reveal LINQ ICM is inserted just under the skin.
- Once in position, the insertion tool is removed and the incision is closed.
Following the insertion, your doctor will schedule regular, automatic data transmissions to take place during the time that you usually sleep.
At Home Setup
You’ll be provided a MyCareLink™ Monitor — a bedside unit that collects data from your Reveal LINQ ICM and makes it available to your doctor. It’s important to set it up as soon as you get home.

DID YOU RECEIVE A PATIENT ASSISTANT?
If you received a Patient Assistant, carry it with you at all times so you can use it to mark symptoms such as dizziness, fainting or palpitations. Data is marked in your Reveal LINQ ICM and sent to your doctor during your next automatic transmission.
