Appl. No.:

10/946486

Inventors:

Roland J. Hanson - Forest Lake MN, US
Christopher M. Petersen - Ham Lake MN, US
Ruth N. Klepfer - St. Louis Park MN, US
Marilyn C Rochat - Golden Valley MN, US

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61N 1/00

US Classification:

607 60, 128903

Abstract:

An implantable medical device (IMD) communicates with an external processing unit by transmitting device data and configuration information that describes the device data. The external processing unit processes the device data for display based on the configuration information. The IMD notifies the external processing unit of a change to characteristics of the device data by transmitting the changed device data and updated configuration information.

Elizabeth A. Schotzko - Blaine MN, US

Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61N 1/00

US Classification:

607 32

Abstract:

An external programming system for programming an implantable medical device includes a user display and a memory storing multiple intracardiac lead images. The intracardiac lead images correspond to lead types and includes electrodes spaced according to the spacing of electrodes of a particular lead type. The programmer selects one of the lead images for display based on an indication of which type of lead has been implanted in a patient. The selected image is displayed to a user as part of a graphical user interface for programming cardiac pacing therapy for the patient.

Appl. No.:

10/284901

Inventors:

Catherine Condie - Shoreview MN, US
Marilyn Rochat - Golden Valley MN, US

International Classification:

A61N001/362

US Classification:

607/030000, 607/031000

Abstract:

A programmer including a user interface, and techniques for programming a rate responsive implantable medical device using such a programmer and user interface are presented. The programmer may retrieve currently programmed rate response parameters and optimization target values of an implantable medical device. The programmer may display the currently programmed rate response parameters and optimization target values via a user interface. The programmer may also generate a current rate response curve and a current target rate histogram, and display the current rate response curve and current target rate histogram via the user interface. The programmer may receive changes to the displayed currently programmed rate response parameters and/or target values made by a user via the user interface, generate a pending rate response curve and/or a pending target rate histogram based on these changes, and display the pending rate response curve and/or pending target rate histogram via the user interface.
