Overview

Features & Capabilities

The Abbott Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) is a slim device that continuously monitors heart rhythm and records events as configured by your doctor. The myMerlin™ app securely transmits this information on a doctor-defined schedule and provides a user-friendly way to record symptomatic events, view past and upcoming transmissions, and stay connected with your clinician.

Note: The app will only function when paired with an Abbott ICM implant (prescription required). Some ICM models support remote updates to monitoring settings by a healthcare provider. The app does not provide health services or medical advice; contact your healthcare provider with any medical concerns.

User Reviews

Reviews show a mixed experience. Some users find myMerlin easy to use and helpful for recording symptoms for doctors, with night-time transmissions working and newer hardware offering longer battery life. However, many reports focus on reliability: the app crashes frequently; pairing the loop recorder is unreliable, sometimes failing after iOS updates; manual symptom logging is limited or removed; transmission status is unclear as histories can be blank; and the startup sound is disruptive and cannot be silenced. Overall, reliability and data transparency are the main concerns.
Pros
  • Easy to use and helpful for recording symptoms for doctors
  • Night-time data transmissions can work well, aiding monitoring
  • Some users report the app works as needed and supports their monitoring setup
  • Newer hardware reportedly offers longer battery life, improving use
  • Overall, when functioning, the app provides useful symptom logging and monitoring support
Cons
  • Frequent crashes or random closures, causing interruptions and frustration
  • Unreliable pairing/connection with the loop recorder and issues after iOS updates
  • Limited or removed manual symptom logging options, hindering clinician review
  • Unclear data transmission status with histories sometimes showing as blank
  • Disruptive startup sound/jingle that cannot be silenced in normal use

Just junk. Doesn’t connect can’t find the device serial number and birthdate say invalid. Glad I got my chest cut open to have sub standard junk put in that I had to pay an arm and leg for.

This app is terrible at best, as is your OR REP who misled me when I agreed to have the device implanted. This app froze and I was unable to get it to function at all, so I tried to delete the app, which I did… but I was unable to reinstall it. Apparently it still exists but the icon disappeared when I deleted the app and I can’t download it but I can open it from the App Store. No time to continue!!!!!
