HeartLogic Heart Failure Diagnostic

Predict potential heart failure events weeks in advance

HeartLogic demonstrated 67% reduction in heart failure readmissions with Resonate ICDs and CRT-Ds featuring HeartLogic. Multiple sensors are used to track physiologic trends and send a proactive alert of potential worsening heart failure.

EnduraLife Battery
Longer lasting devices – better for patients. EnduraLife batteries are a key feature in the Resonate CRT-D product in conjunction with HeartLogic.

LUX-Dx™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System

It’s time for actionable, high-quality data

The LUX-Dx ICM provides long-term arrhythmia monitoring, including advanced detection of AF, palpitations, cryptogenic stroke, ventricular tachycardia and syncope.

  • Reduces false positives by 53% with dual-stage algorithm3
  • Connects patients with the myLUX Patient App to improve efficiencies and enhance patient satisfaction
  • Reduces ICM patient workload with remote programming
  • Achieves more efficient and confident S-ECG evaluations with help from clear signals

EMBLEM™ MRI S-ICD

The only FDA-approved Subcutaneous ICD Device

EMBLEM MRI S-ICD is the only subcutaneous implantable defibrillator that provides protection from both sudden cardiac death and the risks associated with transvenous leads.

Minimize risks associated with transvenous leads

200k+

De Novo transvenous ICDs are implanted worldwide each year11

14x

Higher rate of lead complications requiring surgical intervention with transvenous ICDs than S-ICD12

54.8%

Of first time ICD recipients were candidates for S-ICD13

  • High conversion success of 98.4%14, similar to that reported with TV-ICD trials
  • Protection from risks associated with transvenous leads, S-ICD demonstrated fewer lead and device-related complications than TV-ICD over a 4-year follow up15
  • Reduces the need for fluoroscopy during the implant procedure, helping to improve efficiencies
