Assert-IQ™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) delivers meaningful value through efficient, accurate, and continuous patient monitoring.
It features:

  • Extended monitoring with the longest lasting Bluetooth® ICM‡ with full functionality and no compromises. 
  • Clinically actionable data with reduced false positives.1-2
  • Clear, crisp EGMs for improved visualization of P-waves.3
  • 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3T MR Conditional.

This next-gen ICM provides you with reliable data to enable better care decisions for your patients.4

Longest Lasting Bluetooth® ICM†

Assert-IQ ICM is a Bluetooth®-enabled ICM that provides reliable, long-lasting cardiac monitoring with no compromises in features.

Assert-IQ™ EL+

6+ years* may be preferred for longer term monitoring, such as those undergoing therapy and at risk of developing further arrhythmias such as AF.

Assert-IQ™ 3+

3+ years* may be preferred for more traditional reasons for monitoring, such as diagnosing syncope, palpitations, or detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) within cryptogenic stroke patients.

The Assert-IQ 3 ICM offers another 3-year battery life option that encapsulates only the essential and most valued ICM features.

Long-term Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Extend your patient monitoring beyond diagnosis and catheter ablation. Long-term monitoring with an ICM helps detect AF recurrence, even if asymptomatic. 7-11

Timing of AF recurrences after the initial catheter ablation for n=2,194 patients that underwent catheter ablation for AF between 2004 and 2019.6

 

Assert-IQ EL+ is the only ICM that can provide 6+ year monitoring for AF management.*,4,12-18

Clinically Actionable Data

Designed to provide industry-leading accuracy for arrhythmia detection, Assert-IQ ICM features new algorithm enhancements that have been tested and proved to reduce false detections.1

Enhanced algorithms reduce false detections by 98.7% for AF and Pause while maintaining 97.7% of true EGMs.1
