Our engineers and scientists have continually improved each Reveal-brand ICM, making the detection algorithms better every few years as we introduced new models or enhanced a model’s capabilities with a firmware update. In 2009, the Reveal brand ICMs contained industry-leading Brady, Pause and Tachy detection algorithms inside an ICM. In 2009, Medtronic also introduced the world’s first AF detection algorithm inside an ICM, expanding a physician’s use of this important diagnostic tool to one of the hardest to detect and diagnose arrhythmias. In 2011, Medtronic introduces FullView Software, giving clinicians improved data viewing and collection capabilities. As part of this upgrade to the Reveal XT ICM, Medtronic also improved its AF detection algorithm, and enhanced the noise discrimination algorithm, allowing for ectopy rejection, and introduced a new Pause algorithm with the ability to analyze diminishing R-waves, among other advancements. In 2014, Medtronic introduced the revolutionary Reveal LINQ ICM, the world’s smallest, and first insertable cardiac monitor. The Reveal LINQ also significantly improved Medtronic’s AF detection algorithm, and improved a clinician’s overall experience with streamlined data management, reporting and patient management.. The Reveal LINQ also introduced daily, automatic wireless transmission of patient’s data from the inserted Reveal LINQ to the Medtronic CareLink network, assuring continuous rhythm information from patients to ensure timely notification of all clinically-relevant arrhythmias. And today, in 2017, Medtronic brings you TruRhythm™ Detection – the most advanced ICM intelligence available. The TruRhythm algorithms are a device firmware upgrade to the Reveal LINQ ICM. The new algorithms include AF, Brady and Pause sensing, filtering and detection algorithms, including new self-learning intelligence built into the TruRhythm AF detection algorithm. This new suite of algorithms has been designed to simplify ICM data and create a more efficient workflow for clinics. 2009 2011 2014 2017 1 TruRhythm™ Detection Efficiency.

36 SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT
Advanced monitoring SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT William’s story Reveal LINQ™ ICM used to discover non-sustained SVT event William remembered his fainting spells seemed to come out of nowhere. The first time it happened was just after he stood up to get a second cup of coffee. He was unconscious for 30 seconds while his parents and wife feared he was dead. Another time, he was having dinner while on a cruise ship when, without warning, his head fell forward and he lost consciousness. William experienced an ambulance trip, multiple visits to the hospital and appointments with various physician specialties. Multiple tests showed nothing. Years went by without incident until he was on another family vacation—this time to Paris. As he walked along a cobblestone street with his family, William collapsed. “My face slammed into a cobblestone curb and knocked out my four front teeth. I had a cut under my chin, my mouth was gushing blood, I had a gash over my right eye, and I’d fractured my upper mandible on the left- side of my jaw. I also had hairline fractures of the orbital bones under my eyes.” William returned to the U.S. for reparative surgery, and to meet with an Electrophysiologist who recommended the Reveal LINQ™ ICM. The device was inserted in February, 2016 and the following August, Dr. Sanchez called William to tell him that an episode was detected. The data showed that, while William slept, he experienced a non-sustained SVT event: 20 heartbeats in a 5-seconds span. Today, following a successful ablation procedure, William is back to enjoying life. He works out multiple times a week and enjoys traveling with his family, playing basketball, tennis and golf. This story reflects one person’s experience. Not every person will receive the same results. Syncope | Therapy Awareness Presentation | March 2017

37 SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT
Advanced monitoring SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT Kymberli’s story Reveal LINQ™ ICM used to discover malignant vasovagal syncope On a February morning in 2015, Kymberli, the busy mother of four young children prepared for her triplets’ first birthday party. Suddenly, she felt queasy, confused and clammy. She passed out before she could say anything. Kymberli was taken by ambulance to the emergency room. After a CT scan and a 2D echo, she was discharged and sent to a cardiologist. She was given a 30-day event monitor that showed nothing of concern related to her heart. The doctors thought it was possible that stress, dehydration or lack of sleep had triggered the event. Kymberli wasn’t convinced. She made an appointment with an electrophysiologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. He ordered a cardiac MRI and a stress test, both of which came back normal. Aside from a low heart rate and hypotension she’d had her entire life, Kymberli appeared healthy. This story reflects one person’s experience. Not every person will receive the same results. Her doctor recommended Reveal LINQ™ ICM. The device was inserted in June, 2015 and the following November Kymberli blacked out while home alone with the children. The data from Kymberli’s device was transmitted to her doctor’s office. Just minutes after receiving it, they contacted Kymberli and told her to call 911. The data showed Kymberli’s heart had stopped for 19 seconds. Kymberli was diagnosed with malignant vasovagal syncope and sick sinus syndrome. A pacemaker was implanted to regulate Kymberli’s heart. “The Reveal LINQ is the reason I’m here today,” says Kymberli. “Without it, my doctor wouldn’t have detected my heart’s 19 second pause. With that information, he could diagnose the malignant form of vasovagal syncope and prevent syncope with a pacemaker. Now I have comfort in knowing I’m OK and that my heart will keep beating.” Syncope | Therapy Awareness Presentation | March 2017

38 SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT
Advanced monitoring SYNCOPE PATIENT IMPACT Debbie’s story Reveal™ ICM used to discover a rare form of AT After Debbie fainted the first time, she didn't think much about it. As a cardiac nurse, she knew there were many reasons people faint. But the fainting continued, and within a couple of months she was passing out three times a day. Her cardiologist decided to give Debbie a Medtronic Reveal insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). Based on the information from the Reveal ICM, her doctors determined Debbie had a rare, aggressive form of atrial tachycardia (AT) that was very resistant to treatment. She tried new medications. Debbie’s doctors also relied on the Reveal ICM to monitor how her heart responds to the therapy. With her fainting under better control, Debbie got back to practicing ballet. She encourages people who experience fainting episodes to make a doctor appointment right away. Photo shown is not actual patient. This story reflects one person’s experience. Not every person will receive the same results. Syncope | Therapy Awareness Presentation | March 2017
