  1. Nov 3, 2023Open, Classified

    It may create the potential for amplified noise and/or overall signal reduction of the ICM, which may interfere with intended recordings of heart rhythms. This noise pattern is different from occasional noise due to device position/migration, patient activity, or external electromagnetic interference.
