Brief summary

The Reveal LINQ Registry will generate reliable long-term real world data of product performance, economic valuation, site-of-service procedural information.

Detailed description

The study is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multi-center, global study. The study will characterize clinical actions initiated by Reveal LINQ arrhythmia detection and estimate procedure-related acute infection rate. Approximately 1,500 subjects will be implanted with a Reveal LINQ ICM and undergo continuous remote monitoring and be followed prospectively from insertion through 36 months.

Number of Participants With Procedure-related Acute Infection RateImplant to 30 days post-implantAcute infection rate in the subjects who were followed for at least 30 days or had an infection prior to 30 days. Infections are as assessed by the Investigator and defined as deep incision site or superficial infection. Deep incision site are classified as pain, redness, or drainage at incision site requiring the device to be removed or IV antibiotics administered. Superficial infections are defined as redness beyond procedure expectation and oral antibiotics administered. For both deep incision and superficial infections, a physician directed intervention must occur for the event to be defined as an infection.

Number of Participants With Procedure-related Acute Infection Rate

Acute infection rate in the subjects who were followed for at least 30 days or had an infection prior to 30 days. Infections are as assessed by the Investigator and defined as deep incision site or superficial infection. Deep incision site are classified as pain, redness, or drainage at incision site requiring the device to be removed or IV antibiotics administered. Superficial infections are defined as redness beyond procedure expectation and oral antibiotics administered. For both deep incision and superficial infections, a physician directed intervention must occur for the event to be defined as an infection.
