Cost comparison of two implantable cardiac monitors in two different settings: Reveal XT in a catheterization laboratory vs. Reveal LINQ in a procedure room
Conclusion
Inserting the miniaturized version of the ICM is simpler and faster, and the procedure can take place outside the cath lab in a less resource intensive environment. Hospitals save resources when the higher price of the Reveal LINQ does not outweigh these savings.
