Powered by AI

Powered by AI

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 only ICM system that combines AI, the longest-lasting Bluetooth® battery life1-8, and IQ Insights to optimize patient management across arrhythmia types—all within a small device that integrates seamlessly into patients' lives.9-12

Assert-IQ ICM leverages AI to significantly reduce false positives while maintaining high sensitivity, with no impact on battery life.

Assert-IQ ICM with AI Delivers Clinically Actionable Data

99.4%

Proven 99.4% episode-based AF sensitivity in a study comparing Assert-IQ ICM to Holter monitoring, with AI maintaining all true episodes1,11

90.6%

AI reduces up to 90% of false Pause episodes, and 81% of false AF episodes1

AI Reduces Data Burden to Improve Clinical Efficiency

AI REDUCES TRANSMISSION BURDEN BY*10
39.4%

*From patients with at least one AF or Pause alert pre-AI

TIME SAVINGS FROM AI

AI algorithms can save clinics approximately 486 hours annually for every 100 Assert-IQ™ ICM patients.10

This is calculated as 11 minutes per transmission, plus 0.6 minutes per SEGM.

Longest-Lasting Bluetooth® ICM†

Building on a reputation for innovation, Assert-IQ is the longest-lasting Bluetooth®-enabled ICM that operates at full functionality beyond six years with no compromises.1-8,14

Clear, Crisp EGMs

With Assert-IQ ICM, you can expect to get clear, crisp EGMs for improved visualization of P-waves, which could lead to a faster care decision for your patients.12

New IQ Insights

Assert-IQ ICM provides a holistic view of cardiovascular health with new IQ Insights that show trends and timelines to empower data-driven decisions.

Key Episodes**—Optimized for Each Arrhythmia Type

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.
