Medical Device Correction for Reveal LINQ™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor model LNQ11

Medtronic International Ltd would like to notify healthcare professionals on the sensitivity of an algorithm used in the Reveal LINQ™ Insertable Cardiace Monitor (ICM) Model LNQ11 that may prematurely trigger the Recommended Replacement Time (RRT) alert. As of February 12, 2016, Medtronic has observed an occurrence rate of 0.45% of devices experiencing this issue. Battery capacity is not affected and the device will continue to support data collection and manual data transmission. Healthcare professionals are advised against prophylactic device replacement and to contact Medtronic for assistance with determining if an RRT alert is due to the algorithm sensitivity issue. Please refer to the letter for details.
