摘要:
This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for automatic electrode integrity management. Interelectrode impedance is measured for various electrode combinations of an implantable cardiac function management device. The impedance data is processed, such as at an external remote server, to determine whether an electrode is failing or has failed, to select an alternate electrode configuration, to alert a physician or patient, to predict a time-to-failure such as by using population data, or to reprogram electrode configuration or other device parameters of the implantable cardiac function management device.

摘要:
A system and method monitors or reports the battery status of an implantable medical device to a user. The battery terminal voltage and charge delivered are measured. Before the battery terminal voltage falls below an Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI) threshold voltage, a charge-delivered indication of battery status is provided to a user. Thereafter, a battery terminal voltage indication of battery status is provided to a user. The Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI) and End of Life (EOL) threshold voltages are each functions of delivered battery current. A fault current detection is also provided to a user. A device temperature sensor discounts the battery voltage reading when the device is too cold.
摘要:
One aspect of this disclosure relates to a system for dynamic battery management in implantable medical devices. An embodiment of the system includes two or more devices for measuring battery capacity for an implantable medical device battery. The embodiment also includes a controller connected to the measuring devices. The controller is adapted to combine the measurements from the measuring devices using a weighted average to determine battery capacity consumed. According to various embodiments, at least one of the measuring devices includes a coulometer. At least one of the measuring devices includes a capacity-by-voltage device, according to an embodiment. The system further includes a display in communication with the controller in various embodiments. The display is adapted to provide a depiction of battery longevity in units of time remaining in the life of the implantable medical device battery, according to various embodiments. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.
