1 UNLOCK THE ANSWER The Reveal LINQ TM System lets your physician learn about your heart while you live your life.
2 WHY LONG-TERM MONITORING MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU Accurate information is the key to better healthcare. But irregular heartbeats may occur infrequently, making the underlying condition hard to find and treat. Now, there s a way. With continuous, long-term monitoring, your doctor can get information about your heart to help find the right answer for you. UNEXPLAINED FAINTING a sudden loss of consciousness also called passing out or syncope that occurs when blood pressure drops and oxygen can t reach the brain. Why monitor? Fainting can be serious when caused by an abnormal heart rhythm. HEART PALPITATIONS a usually harmless condition in which the heart feels as if it s pounding, racing or fluttering. Why monitor? Palpitations may indicate a serious underlying heart condition. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION a common condition in which the upper chambers of the heart beat very fast and irregularly. Also called AF or AFib. Why monitor? AFib requires treatment because it s strongly linked to stroke. UNEXPLAINED STROKE a stroke of unknown cause that may be triggered by AFib, causing a blood clot to form and block oxygen to the brain. Why monitor? Detecting AFib after stroke may help physicians prevent a second one.
3 THE REVEAL LINQ TM SYSTEM The Reveal LINQ System includes a small Insertable Cardiac Monitor (or ICM) placed just under the skin during a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure; and the MyCareLink Patient Monitor a bedside unit that collects heart rhythm data from the ICM and makes it available to your doctor. Discreet The Reveal LINQ ICM is not visible in most patients. Easy The MyCareLink Monitor uses a cellular signal and a power outlet. Portable Go wherever you want. You can travel and take the MyCareLink Monitor with you. MRI Compatible The Reveal LINQ ICM is safe for use in an MRI setting. 3 Years The Reveal LINQ ICM detects abnormal heart rhythms for up to 3 years. MARK SYMPTOMS AS THEY HAPPEN Your doctor may choose to add a Patient Assistant to your Reveal LINQ System if he or she wants to compare specific heart rhythm data to symptoms you experience. The Patient Assistant is a small device used to mark symptoms in the Reveal LINQ ICM. The MyCareLink Monitor will then send this information during your next automatic transmission. Medtronic is committed to partnering with your doctor and unlocking the answers to your health. Reveal LINQ ICM MyCareLink Patient Monitor Patient Assistant
4 HOW THE REVEAL LINQ SYSTEM WORKS Once your Reveal LINQ ICM is inserted, all you need to do is leave the MyCareLink Monitor plugged in, powered on and in a location that receives an adequate cellular signal. THE SYSTEM will take care of the rest! The process for sending information is easy and worry-free. Heart data is recorded with the Reveal LINQ ICM. You go to bed near your MyCareLink Monitor. Your data is shared with the MyCareLink Monitor. Your doctor can access your data. Your doctor will contact you if necessary.
5 THINGS TO CONSIDER All surgical procedures carry risk, but those associated with the Reveal LINQ System are rare. Since the ICM is inserted just under the skin, there is a small risk of infection and/or sensitivity. Talk to your doctor about any risks particular to your health and situation. WHY REVEAL LINQ? There are many benefits to the Reveal LINQ System: Insertion procedure is minimally-invasive, easy and brief Long-term monitoring works continuously Ability to capture irregular heartbeats that are infrequent or unpredictable helps with diagnosis Use of Reveal LINQ System doesn t require a change in daily activities Reveal LINQ ICM is safe for use in an MRI setting

9 Medtronic CareLink Monitor and Medtronic CareLink Network Intended Use: The CareLink Monitor and the CareLink Network are indicated for use in the transfer of patient data from some Medtronic implantable cardiac devices based on physician instructions and as described in the product manual. These products are not a substitute for appropriate medical attention in the event of an emergency and should only be used as directed by a physician. Contraindications: There are no contraindications for the CareLink Monitor. Warnings and Precautions: The CareLink Monitor must only be used for interrogating compatible Medtronic implantable devices. The CareLink Monitor is intended for use within the prescribing country. Reveal LINQ LNQ11 Insertable Cardiac Monitor and Patient Assistant The Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor is an implantable patientactivated and automatically-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in the following cases: patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, and chest pain, that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia The device has not been tested specifically for pediatric use. Possible risks associated with the implant of the Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor include, but are not limited to, infection at the surgical site, device migration, erosion of the device through the skin and/or sensitivity to the device material. Treatment with a Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor is prescribed by your physician. This treatment is not for everyone. Please talk to your doctor to see if it is right for you. Your physician should discuss all potential benefits and risks with you. Although many patients benefit from the use of this treatment, results may vary. See the device manual for detailed information regarding the instructions for use, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events. For further information, please call Medtronic at 1 (800) and/or consult Medtronic s website at Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician.
