Dual-stage algorithms

Focused on more actionable alerts

Reduce false positives without missing a beat

The LUX-Dx II+™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System builds upon the first generation LUX-Dx™ ICM System, with enhanced dual-stage algorithms that automatically detect and verify potential arrhythmias before sending for clinic review, providing reliable data and prioritizing actionable alerts.


Enhanced atrial fibrillation algorithm

The Atrial Fibrillation (AF) algorithm uses R-R variability to detect potential AFib rhythms. The verification stage uses several criteria including adaptive morphology, noise discrimination and pattern detectors to identify and reject false positives. New with the LUX-Dx II+ ICM is an additional verification step to reject false positives due to repeating sequential patterns and an update to merge adjacent AFib episodes to reduce the amount of episodes for review.

38%

reduction in AFib false positives while maintaining high relative sensitivity1*

26%

fewer AFib S-ECG episodes for review2*

Learn more about the enhanced dual-stage AF Algorithm on the LUX-Dx II+ ICM.


Novel PVC Burden algorithm with programmable alert

This dual-stage algorithm uses a patient-specific morphology assessment to detect potential premature ventricular contraction (PVC) sequence types like couplets and triplets. It provides a daily burden percentage with advanced programming and is the only ICM with an actionable PVC Burden alert.**

Discover how the PVC Burden dual-stage algorithm identifies PVC sequences and reports daily burden percentages.


Enhanced Pause algorithm

This algorithm continues to use R-R intervals to detect pause episodes. The enhanced algorithm includes an additional verification step that further rejects false positives due to a low signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, the LUX-Dx II+ ICM is the only ICM with advanced nighttime pause programming**—to detect, differentiate and record specified nighttime pause events separately.

Enhanced Bradycardia algorithm

The algorithm continues to use rate and duration parameters during the detection stage to identify potential Brady episodes. During the verification stage, episodes are further examined and rejected if undersensing is identified. New with the LUX-Dx II+ ICM System is advanced nighttime programming to detect, differentiate and record specified nighttime Brady events separately.

75%

fewer Brady S-ECG episodes for review2*

Explore details of the dual-stage Brady algorithm, including the advanced nighttime programming capabilities.


Atrial Tachycardia algorithm

The Atrial Tachycardia (AT) algorithm uses rate, duration and built-in flexibility to detect either short or long duration AT or atrial flutter based on heart rate and R-R variability. The LUX-Dx ICM Systems are the only ICMs with independent AT and AF programming,** enabling better detection of clinically relevant regular arrhythmias—without compromising ideal AF detection settings.

See how to program the only ICM with an independently programmable AT algorithm.


Tachycardia algorithm

This algorithm uses traditional implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)-based rate and duration parameters during the detection stage. The verification stage uses a machine-learning-based decision tree to classify Tachy episodes as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), or to reject as noise.

See how the LUX-Dx II+ ICM uses decision trees to classify VT and SVT episodes.
