Know your rhythms

If you’ve been experiencing symptoms like fainting, palpitation, or shortness of breath, your health care team may recommend heart monitoring. Heart monitors are often used to check for irregular heart rhythms to help your health care team provide the best care for your condition.

Get to know your device

The LUX-Dx ICM is a small electronic device placed just under your skin. It automatically monitors and records information about your heart rhythms for your doctor.

Understanding the procedure

If your doctor has recommended the LUX-Dx ICM System, the procedure is quick and easy. Learn more about what to expect in the steps below.

Your health care team will start by numbing the area where the device will be inserted with local anesthesia.

Your doctor will make a small incision. Usually, the incision is on the left side of the chest. But your doctor will determine the best place for the incision.

After making the incision, your doctor will insert the ICM device under your skin.

Finally, your doctor will close the incision.
