Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor MRI Conditions for Use. A patient with a Reveal LINQ device can be safely scanned in an MR system that meets the following conditions with no post-insertion waiting required.

MRI scans are safe in loop recorder patients. No special precautions need be taken before a MRI scan, but the loop recorder will record the signals produced by an MRI so you should notify your physician and device clinic personnel if you have a MRI scan.

The recently published European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) indicate that MRI can be safely performed in patients with an implanted pacemaker or ICD (MRI conditional or not), as long as strict safety conditions are met.

The Reveal LINQ system includes a tiny insertable monitor placed just under the skin and the MyCareLink™ patient monitor — a bedside unit that collects heart rhythm data from the ICM and sends it to your doctor. Discreet — The Reveal LINQ ICM is not visible in most patients.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Although the Reveal LINQ ICM is considered conditionally safe for use in the MRI environment when used under specified conditions, other implanted devices or the patient’s individual medical condition might have an impact on safety and might require additional examination.

You might need a loop recorder if you have fainting episodes or palpitations, and other tests have not yet given you any answers. Repeated fainting can have a negative effect on your physical and emotional health. Also, certain kinds of fainting greatly increase your chance for sudden death.

What are the risks of cardiac LRI? You may bleed more than expected or develop an infection at the implant site. The procedure may cause damage to your heart or blood vessels. The device may stop working.

The Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor is an implantable patient-activated and automatically 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.

The cost is about $20,000 currently but insurance does cover it. The reason it is so high is because they are most often implanted as an outpatient surgery in a hospital.

The Reveal LINQ™ Insertable Cardio Monitoring System is a small device that we can use to diagnose and treat irregular heartbeats and unexplained fainting. During this minimally invasive outpatient procedure, the monitor is placed in your chest just below the skin.

The LINQ II™ insertable cardiac monitoring system is the world’s most accurate ICM,1-4 personalized for the patient’s lifestyle and customized for the clinician’s workflow. LINQ II ICM is ideal for patients experiencing infrequent symptoms that require long-term monitoring or ongoing management.
