20100058480INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN DEVICES WORN BY A USER - An implantable medical device that is physically connectable to the body of a user has an information manager that manages sensitive information associated with the user or the device. A sensor is connected to the device that senses whether the device is physically connected to the body of the user, and generates a signal indicating whether the device is actually connected to the body of the user. The information manager is connected to the sensor, and is responsive to the sensor signal so as to perform information managing functions based on the signal. Among other things, fraudulent retrieval of sensitive data from the device is prevented if the device is not connected to or implanted in the body of the user.03-04-2010
20100106212A MEDICAL SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR DETERMINING SETTINGS OF AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE (As Amended) - In a medical system and a method for operating such a system, the system includes an implantable medical device of a patient, a programmer device, and an extracorporeal stress equipment adapted to exert a physiological stress on the patient, for automatically determining settings of a sensor for sensing a physiological parameter of the patient or for automatically determining a pacing setting of the device over a broad range of workloads of the equipment. The ingoing units and/or devices of the medical system, i.e. the implantable medical device of the patient, the programmer device, and the extracorporeal stress equipment, communicate bi-directionally with each other and form a closed loop.04-29-2010
20100106222METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INITIATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A HOME MONITORING DEVICE AND AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - In a method and system for establishing a wireless communication session between an implantable medical device IMD and a home monitoring device, the home monitoring device frequently sends communication-initiating signals to an IMD arranged within the body of a patient for establishing a communication session between the monitoring device and the IMD. In order to save energy, RF telemetry circuitry of the IMD is normally set in a low-power, idle mode. Occasionally, the RF circuitry will leave the low-power mode and enter an active mode in which it is able to detect a communication-initiating signal transmitted by the monitoring device. When a communication-initiating signal is detected, the IMD will respond accordingly to the monitoring device and a communication session will be established. In the present invention, the telemetry circuitry of the IMD will be controlled to wake up from low-power mode and enter an active detection mode independently of the transmission of the communication-initiating signals from the monitoring device. Hence, the external monitoring device will frequently transmit communication-initiating signals, but the IMD will only detect a wakeup signal when leaving its low-power mode and entering active mode at a predetermined instant of time.04-29-2010
20100274323METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR POWER MANAGEMENT - Telemetry data from an IMD are routinely extracted in order to perform a full prognosis of a patient's condition and to alter the IMD therapy programming if necessary. Typically, while the IMD is inside of the patient, it periodically or continuously collects and stores data into its memory. These stored data can then be extracted by a physician to an external device for further analysis. In addition to the stored telemetry data, the physician may also want to collect real-time telemetry data such as real-time IEGM data or other physiological data while the patient is in the physician's office. However, transmitting telemetry data can consume a high level of power and shorten the battery life of the IMD if not properly managed. Thus, it is advantageous to have built-in features to minimize the possibility the IMD is not transmitting and/or receiving data while it is not being monitored and/or used by the physician for a predetermined amount of time.10-28-2010
20140169162METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MANAGE REAL-TIME AND NON-REAL-TIME DATA TRANSMISSION OVER A SHARED LINK WITH AN IMD - A medical telemetry system and method are provided for communication between an implantable medical device (IMD) and an external device (ExD). The method and system collects real-time (RT) data and non-real-time (NRT) data. The method and system segment the RT data into RT packets and the NRT data into NRT packets and load the RT and NRT packets into a shared transmit buffer in the IMD in accordance with RT and NRT bandwidth allocations and/or packet size. The method and system transmit the RT and NRT packets from the IMD to the ExD in an order loaded in the transmit buffer and adjust at least one of the RT and NRT bandwidth allocations and/or packet size based on a quality of service (QoS) characteristic.06-19-2014

20130116587DETECTION OF DRASTIC BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGES - A cardiac-activity based prediction of a rapid drop in a patient's blood pressure during extracorporeal blood treatment is disclosed. A proposed alarm apparatus includes a primary beat morphology analysis unit bank of secondary analysis units and an alarm generating unit. The primary beat morphology analysis unit discriminates heart beats in a received basic electrocardiogram signal, classifies each beat into one out of at least two different beat categories, and associates each segment of the signal with relevant event-type data. The event-type data and the basic electrocardiogram signal together form an enhanced electrocardiogram signal, based upon which the primary beat morphology analysis unit determines whether one or more secondary signal analyses should be performed. Depending on the enhanced electrocardiogram signal's properties, the bank of secondary analysis units performs none, one or more of up to at least two different types of secondary analyses, and for each analysis performed produces a respective test signal. The alarm generating unit receives the test signals, and triggers an alarm signal indicative of an estimated rapid blood pressure decrease, if at least one alarm criterion is fulfilled.05-09-2013
