What is it indicated for?
The LINQ II ICM is an insertable automatically activated and patient-activated monitoring system that
records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in adult patients, and in pediatric patients who are at least 2
years old, in the following cases:
-patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias
-patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, and chest pain that
may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia
-patients who have been previously diagnosed with or treated for atrial or ventricular arrhythmias
