Will someone’s insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) interact with their car’s Bluetooth®?
If someone’s ICM, or loop recorder, uses a phone app to connect to their doctor, this heart monitor has Bluetooth® connectivity. Heart monitors of this type use Bluetooth® Low Energy and are not compatible with Bluetooth® Classic (the type of Bluetooth® in most cars). The car will not attempt to establish a connection with the insertable cardiac monitor and the device won’t be able to detect Bluetooth® Classic transmissions.
