Medtronic plc announced the first in-office implant of its miniaturized cardiac monitor as part of the Medtronic Reveal LINQ In-Office 2 (RIO 2) Study. One of the world's smallest cardiac monitors, the Reveal LINQ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) was successfully implanted in an office setting at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, by cardiologist John Rogers, M.D. The RIO 2 study will determine if the procedure, performed in an in-office setting, is as safe as procedures performed in a traditional hospital setting â such as an operating room, cardiac catheterization laboratory or electrophysiology laboratory.
