Figure 2 summarizes the median battery longevity of every individual model, with interquartile range, as well as the manufacturer self-reporter battery longevity. Range (min – max) of battery longevity is listed too. ILR = implantable loop recorder.
Figure 3:
Figure 3 depicts the five different Implantable Loop recorder models, manufactured by three different companies, used in this trial. The blue line indicates the self-reported minimal battery longevity by Medtronic (being 3 years, or 36 months), while the red line indicates that of Abbott (St Jude Medical) (being 2 years, or 24 months). ILR = implantable loop recorder.

Figure 4. In this figure a survival curve is depicted. It shows the number of arrhythmogenic diagnoses in relation to time. After 43 months no arrhythmogenic diagnoses were made.
