It consists primarily of the Wearable Sensor monitoring device and the Transmitter (portable data transmission device). The SEEQ MCT System, in combination with interpretation services provided by the Medtronic Monitoring Center, as well as secure online review of data (for prescribing physicians only), enables patient- and physician-friendly arrhythmia detection for up to 30 days at a time.How the SEEQ MCT System worksOnce activated, the Wearable Sensor continuously monitors the heart and automatically collects ECGs. When rhythm abnormalities are detected, data is automatically transmitted from the Wearable Sensor to the Transmitter, which then automatically transmits the data to the Medtronic Monitoring Center. Patients can also trigger transmission of ECGs when they experience cardiac symptoms by using the Patient Trigger Button. Certified cardiographic technicians at the Medtronic Monitoring Center review received data and document symptoms reported to the Medtronic Monitoring Center by patients. Reports prepared by the Medtronic Monitoring Center are delivered to the prescribing physician and made available to them at www.medtronic.com to provide them with data for their diagnosis and identification of various clinical conditions, events and/or trends. Prescribing physicians may also be contacted by the Medtronic Monitoring Center directly when arrhythmias that meet pre-defined criteria are detected. IMPORTANT: ▪The SEEQ MCT System is not intended to be an alarm or to alert patients or physicians, and will not summon emergency response in the event help is needed.

ECGs are automatically transmitted upon detection of the following conditions:▪Heart Rate >= 130 bpm▪Heart Rate <= 40 bpm▪Pause >= 3 seconds▪Atrial Fibrillation▪Ventricular Tachycardia/Ventricular FibrillationFor example, the detection algorithm of the SEEQ MCT System detects the peak of each R-wave and calculates the interval between successive R-waves. The RR intervals are then used to calculate beat-to-beat heart rate values. RR intervals are also aggregated into 5-minute and 24-hour averages to summarize patient heart rate over the monitoring period. For Pause detection, the algorithm monitors the time between successive R-wave peaks. A pause trigger is activated if an internal timer advances to 3 seconds without R-wave detection.In order to provide relevant, exception-based arrhythmia reporting, the SEEQ MCT System proprietary ECG analysis algorithms proactively manage redundant reporting of ECGs for a select set of arrhythmias when persistently detected:▪Tachycardias with heart rate >= 130 bpm and < 165 bpm▪Bradycardias with heart rate >= 30 bpm and < 40 bpm▪Atrial Fibrillation▪Ventricular Tachycardia < 165 bpmFor these arrhythmias, the Wearable Sensor algorithm detection sensitivity and positive predictive value results, which are obtained from the respective databases in strict accordance with EC-57a and with 0% downtime, are as follows:Test Rhythm Name Sensitivity (%)aaas measured by EC-57 standards testing on 12NOV2013 Positive Predictive Value (%)a QRS Detection (average)Including all Tachycardias with heart rate >= 130 bpm and < 165 bpm, Bradycardias with heart rate >=30 bpm and <40 bpm AHA: 98.95 MIT-BIH: 99.83 AHA: 99.34 MIT-BIH: 99.84 AF Duration (gross) MIT-BIH: 90 MIT-BIH: 85
