Our state-of-the-art insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) sets a new standard for continuous monitoring and automatic arrhythmia detection. Assert-IQ ICM is the longest lasting Bluetooth® ICM,1-8 that provides true value with reduced false positives, simplified clinic workflows, and reduced data burden9-12 – all within a small device that integrates seamlessly into patients’ lives.
Advanced algorithms assist in reducing clinic data while maintaining sensitivity to detect true events. Designed to build user confidence and provide reassurance to your patients, the algorithm enhancements have been proven to reduce false detection and data burden as shown below:
Assert-IQ ICM’s advanced algorithms reduce false detections by 98.7% for AF and Pause, while maintaining 97.7% of true EGMs.9,10
When compared to the latest version of LINQ II‡,
Assert-IQ ICM’s AF algorithm reduces data burden by 21% while maintaining sensitivity.*,9,15,16
Assert-IQ ICM provides a holistic view of cardiovascular health with new IQ Insights that show trends and timelines to empower data-driven decisions.
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)
Leading PVC detection algorithm offers the ability to capture consecutive events, including couplets and triplets.17
Elevated Heart Rate with and without Activity
An ICM first.1-8
Body Position & Posture Changes
Assess patient factors to help adjudicate episodes.
DirectTrend™ Viewer
Assess AF Burden, PVCs, Activity Trends, and MORE!
While other devices use a standard set of criteria for all types of arrhythmias, Assert-IQ ICM uses Key Episode** technology that tailors data to the arrhythmia type. This technology gives you the flexibility to toggle between viewing all episodes or 3 Key Episodes** that are most critical to your patient’s care.
Assert-IQ ICM empowers you and your clinic to take a more personalized approach to patient management with valuable insights designed to help inform treatment decisions.
