Kardia 12L vs Implicity
A cardiology practice that runs a device clinic is the buyer who could put both on a list. Implicity is a cloud platform for remote monitoring of pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices and insertable monitors, and the device makers on its site are Abbott, Biotronik, Boston Scientific, Medtronic and MicroPort. Its SignalHF heart failure score holds a 510(k) (K230842), the ILR ECG Analyzer was cleared in July 2026, and the vendor says 75% of alerts before a hospitalization came at least 14 days ahead. That figure is the vendor's, and the peer-reviewed papers on the product have Implicity authors. Kardia 12L records a tracing of the patient in the room, and per the vendor its Kardia AI V2 detects six arrhythmias including AFib. For a device clinic with a backlog of pacemaker and ICD transmissions, the ECG recorder is the one to cross off, since it never touches those transmissions. An office with no implant patients has no reason to look at Implicity.
