After insertion, people can go about their daily lives while the ICM continuously monitors their heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Bluetooth technology, Abbott&#8217;s Assert-IQ ICM is designed to connect to a transmitter \u2014usually the person&#8217;s own cell phone \u2014 where it checks heart rhythms every 20 seconds, transmitting important findings in virtually real time to their clinic&#8217;s portal. Assert-IQ offers the world&#8217;s longest battery life\u2021 for a Bluetooth enabled ICM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many commercially available ICMs monitor a person&#8217;s heart rhythm for a few years, Assert-IQ has two options, one with a battery life of at least three years and another with at least six years. The three-year option may be preferred for more traditional monitoring, such as diagnosing fainting or heart palpitations, or detections of abnormal heart rhythms, while the six-year option is designed for longer-term monitoring for those at risk of developing arrhythmias. Both options have advanced algorithms available to detect irregular heartbeats and provide clinically actionable data. Improved algorithms in Assert-IQ ICM reduce the data burden and increase the accuracy of the device, ultimately improving physician workflow and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To view the source version, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/abbott.mediaroom.com\/2024-03-25-Abbott-Receives-CE-Mark-for-its-Groundbreaking-Assert-IQ-TM-Insertable-Cardiac-Monitor,-Expanding-Availability-of-Long-Term-Monitoring-for-Irregular-Heart-Rhythms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new addition to Abbott&#8217;s portfolio of connected health devices, helping doctors monitor people&#8217;s heart rhythms remotely for up to six years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[488,680,681,6,25],"tags":[540,704],"class_list":["post-30160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-cardiovascular","category-care-therapy","category-europe","category-products-technologies","tag-abbott","tag-ce-mark"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30160"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30170,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30160\/revisions\/30170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
