ICM Insertion Procedure
How the Procedure Works
If your doctor has recommended the LUX-Dx™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System, you’re probably wondering what the insertion procedure is like. The good news is that the procedure is quick and easy.
1. Your healthcare team will start by numbing the area where the device will be inserted with local anesthesia.
2. 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 to insert it.
3. After making the incision, your physician will insert the ICM device under your skin.
4. Finally, your doctor will close the incision.

After the Procedure
Recovery from your procedure should not prevent you from returning to an active lifestyle. But be sure to ask your health care team what activity level is recommended for you and follow all their post-operative instructions.
Your health care team will let you know how to care for your wound. Be sure to contact them if you notice any swelling, warmth or drainage around your wound or if you develop a fever while it’s healing.
