Abstract:
Long-term electrocardiographic and physiological monitoring over a period lasting up to several years in duration can be provided through a continuously-recording subcutaneous insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). The sensing circuitry and the physical layout of the electrodes are specifically optimized to capture electrical signals from the propagation of low amplitude, relatively low frequency content cardiac action potentials, particularly the P-waves that are generated during atrial activation and storing samples of captured signals. In general, the ICM is intended to be implanted centrally and positioned axially and either over the sternum or slightly to either the left or right of the sternal midline in the parasternal region of the chest.

Claim (Index 11):
A subcutaneous implantable loop recorder for long term electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring, comprising:\n a hermetically sealed implantable housing defining a rectangular shape with rounded edges and comprised of a biocompatible material that is suitable for implantation within a living body of a patient; at least one pair of ECG sensing electrodes provided on a ventral surface and on opposite ends of the implantable housing operatively placed to facilitate sensing in closest proximity to the low amplitude, low frequency content cardiac action potentials that are generated during atrial activation; electronic circuitry provided within the housing, the electronic circuitry comprising:\n an ECG front end circuit interfaced to a low-power microcontroller and configured to capture the cardiac action potentials sensed by the pair of ECG sensing electrodes which are output as ECG signals; \n the low power microcontroller operable to execute under modular micro program control as specified in firmware, the microcontroller operable to read samples of the ECG signals, buffer the samples of the ECG signals, compress the buffered samples of the ECG signals, buffer the compressed samples of the ECG signals, and write the buffered samples into a non-volatile flash memory; and \n the non-volatile memory electrically interfaced with the microcontroller and operable to store the written samples of the ECG signals.
