## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.

- 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

### 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
