    摘要: Methods may include detecting whether a data message alert is stored in a dedicated alert field within a memory of the medical device upon interrogating the medical device with a programmer. The methods may also include communicating the data message alert via the programmer in response to detecting the data message alert stored in the dedicated alert field. A system may include a programmer, a medical device, and a link between the programmer and the medical device. The programmer is operative to provide, detect, and communicate a data message alert stored on the medical device in a dedicated alert field. The dedicated alert field is a free form data field having the capability to store the data message alert in any data format. The programmer is also operative to communicate the data message alert in any data format in which the data message alert is stored.

    摘要: A patient-controlled system for temporarily disabling an electrical cardioverting therapy in order to prepare the patient psychologically and physiologically for the pain associated with electrical cardioversion therapy. In an example embodiment, the system includes a capacitive circuit capable of charging and discharging in order to apply the electrical therapy. The implanted medical device automatically causes the capacitive circuit to charge and discharge at least once within a selected period. The system includes a patient activator device that communicates with the implanted device. A disabling circuit is also included within the implanted medical device that temporarily disables the electrical therapy application in response to the patient activator device. The system further includes an alerting arrangement that alerts the patient activator device in response to the disabling circuit. An override circuit overrides the temporary disabling of the electrical therapy application in response to the patient being in a relaxed mode.

    摘要: Disclosed is a patient alerting device (PAD) that can be positioned close enough for effective near-field communication with an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker or implantable cardiac defibrillator. The PAD is designed to warn the patient when a specific event is detected by the implanted device. The alarm mechanism could be a sound, a vibration and/or a visible display. A communications repeater can be used with the PAD to allow the implanted device to communicate via the PAD with remotely located external equipment through proprietary or standardized means. Means to initiate communication with the implanted device include a magnet within the PAD that triggers a magnetic switch inside the implanted device or by a button which can be depressed to inform the implanted device that the PAD is active and close enough to begin communication. The PAD could also include a button to shut off an alarm that is in the PAD. The PAD can also include means to provide battery status to the patient for both the battery in the implanted device and in the PAD. The significance of the basic alarm PAD is its ability to provide continuous patient alarm capabilities for already implanted devices as well as future implants which have only near-field communication.
