Implant Procedure

Reveal ICM Recommended Implant Zone

The Reveal ICM is placed under the skin in the upper chest area. The recommended implant zones are from the left parasternal area extending to the mid-clavicular line between the first intercostal space and the fourth rib (choose a site as near to the sternum as possible). The lower chest V3 area, between the fourth and fifth rib, is an alternative implant site. The exact location may vary from this diagram due to patient’s anatomy.

During the brief procedure, the area is numbed with local anesthesia, a small incision is made, and the monitor is inserted.
