# Device Description

The Reveal LINQ Model LNQ11 Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) is designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as atrial tachyarrhythmia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF), bradyarrhythmia, pause, or (fast) ventricular tachyarrhythmia. The Reveal LINO ICM provides storage of ECG and Marker Channel during patient-activated and automatically-detected (auto-activated) events. Auto activation may help to detect abnormal heart rhythms in patients who may not activate/trigger the ICM.

The Reveal LINQ ICM Model LNQ11 is a small, leadless device that is typically implanted under the skin, in the chest. Two electrodes on the body of the device continuously monitor the patient's subcutaneous ECG.
