MYCARELINK RELAY™
HOME COMMUNICATOR
Two monitoring options to fit patient lifestyle and address patients’ monitoring needs.
BECONNECTED
PATIENT SERVICE
Phone support service dedicated to patients. Frees up clinic time by helping patients onboard with their optimal monitoring solution and answering device and monitoring questions.
CareLink™
Network
Patient monitoring network that enables data-driven care decisions, quickly and easily.
FocusOn™
Monitoring and Triaging Service
Service designed to help healthcare professionals save time spent reviewing transmissions whilst enabling better outcomes.
Driving efficiencies at every step of the path to diagnosis.
REMOTE PROGRAMMING
LINQ II™ is the first ICM with remote programming capability*6:
- Enables programming directly from clinic for all device parameters post-insertion
- Enables on-going programming optimisation which reduces non-actionable transmissions
- May reduce patient office visits and scheduling challenges
*First CE-marked ICM with remote programming capabilities.
SMART MEMORY MANAGEMENT
Efficient follow-up11 with full remote ECG access without need for manual transmissions6 and reduction of repetitive ECG12
ENHANCING DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVING PATIENT EXPERIENCE
INCREASED DEVICE LONGEVITY UP TO 4.5 YEARS
4.5-year* longevity allows for increased disease management capabilities without sacrificing device size.6
BLUESYNC™ TECHNOLOGY
The BlueSync™ technology inside LINQ II™ enables secure, wireless communication via Bluetooth® Low Energy for an improved remote monitoring experience.

SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING BURDEN
ASSOCIATED WITH EPISODE REVIEW.
TRURHYTHM DETECTION
Trurhythm Detection enables the lowest published rate of AF False positives1-4
Disclaimer: A controlled, head-to-head study evaluating the comparative performance of these devices has not been done.
*Based on AF episodes ≥ 2 minutes and in known AF patients.
% of false positives = (1 – episode PPV). AF episodes PPV may vary between gross and patient average.
† Confirm™ Rx with SharpSense™ technology & BIOMONITOR III have no published clinical evidence showing AF episode PPV or AF sensitivity.
When compared to other ICMs, LINQ II™ with TruRhythm™ detection provides up to:1,5
In a known AF patient population. % Full-time Employee 100 Patient Clinic, 40 hours per week, 44 weeks/year.
NEW PAUSE DETECTION ALGORITHM
The Pause Detection algorithm reduces burden due to false detection by addressing low amplitude, electrical noise and loss of contact.6
NEW PAUSE DETECTION ALGORITHM
The algorithm uses both R-R interval and morphology characteristics to distinguish a PVC beat from a normal beat.
