Implantable Loop Recorder

The loop recorder measures heart signal using the device housing and the electrode at the tip of the antenna as the sensing vector without cables or attachments to the skin. As a result, you can maintain normal activities in your everyday life.

• Continuous Monitoring: The device acts like an electrocardiogram (ECG) and records for 2–3 years or more.
• Automatic Recording: If the heart rate goes outside preset limits, the device stores the data automatically.
• Patient Activated: A handheld activator can be used to trigger a recording when symptoms occur.
• Remote Transmission: Data is often transmitted wirelessly and securely to a doctor.

• Procedure: It is a quick, minimally invasive, out-patient procedure using local anesthesia to inject the device under the skin.
• Duration: The battery generally lasts between 3 and 6 years.
• Risks: Minor risks include bleeding, bruising, or pain at the incision site.
