Lumos-T Safely Reduces Routine Office Device Follow-up

Demonstrate that the use of the BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring system can safely reduce the number of regularly scheduled office follow-up visits compared to the conventional method of ICD follow-up.

Study Design

  • Prospective, randomized, multicenter
  • 1,339 subjects randomized 2:1 to HM or conventional follow-up at 102 centers

Study Design

Home Monitoring delivered a reduction of 45% of in-office follow-ups1

Clinical Relevance

BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring had the same safety event rate as the control group1


Early Detection

Home Monitoring detected arrhythmias 27-37 days (median) in advance of conventional office follow-up1

Clinical Relevance

  • Home Monitoring safely reduced device follow-up burden
  • Home Monitoring provides early detection of clinically relevant events
  • Home Monitoring improves the efficiency of device patient office visits
