Reveal LINQ™ In-Office 2 (RIO2) Study International
- Conditions
- Arrhythmia
- Interventions
- Other: Out of cathlab insertion
- Registration Number
- NCT02412488
- Lead Sponsor
- Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the RIO 2 International study is to provide clinical and economic evidence to support moving the LINQ™ insertion procedure outside these traditional locations within the hospital, referred to as "out-of-cathlab".
- Detailed Description
The traditional location of the LINQ™ insertion procedure is the catheterization laboratory, electrophysiology laboratory, or operating room. The purpose of the RIO 2 International study is to provide clinical and economic evidence to support moving the LINQ™ insertion procedure outside these traditional locations within the hospital, referred to as "out-of-cathlab".

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Untoward Events 3 months An untoward event is a composite endpoint defined as a LINQTM or LINQTM insertion procedure related complication OR an unsuccessful LINQTM insertion procedure, where a LINQTM or LINQTM insertion procedure related complication is defined as an adverse event related to the LINQTM or a LINQTM insertion procedure resulting in:
* Death
* Termination of significant device function
* Invasive intervention (e.g. includes LINQTM revision/explant for reasons other than diagnosis of underlying condition, intravenous drug administration)
