Abstract: An ambulatory medical device includes a sensor configured to acquire a signal indicative of a physiological condition of a patient, a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to monitor the physiological signal, and to perform a diagnostic test, and a remote access manager operatively coupled to the controller and configured to monitor for a command from a remote system to perform the diagnostic test, and to cause the controller to perform the diagnostic test in response to the command. In the device, the remote access manager may be further configured to transmit data representing an operational status of the ambulatory medical device to the remote system. The operational status of the controller may result from performing the diagnostic test. The remote access manager may be further configured to send the data representing the operational status of the ambulatory medical device in real time or substantially in real time.

Abstract: Techniques that enable medical devices to quickly recover from loss of sensory functions are provided. In some examples, a medical device is configured to advantageously leverage differences between a first type of sensing electrode and a second type of sensing electrode that has a shorter recovery time than the first type of sensing electrode. In some examples, a medical device is configured to reference data generated by a first conditioning circuit that is configured to process signals acquired under a first set of environmental conditions and to reference data generated by a second conditioning circuit that is configured to process signal acquired under a second set of environmental conditions. In some examples, a medical device is configured to arrange electrodes used by the medical device to acquire signals in at specific locations to reduce the amount of disruptive power the electrodes encounter.

Abstract: Ambulatory medical devices may occasionally improperly administer a therapeutic stimulation pulse to a patient upon an incorrect detection of arrhythmia in the patient. To address these improperly administered therapeutic stimulation pulses, an ambulatory medical device includes processes and systems for verifying an initial declaration of an arrhythmia. The ambulatory medical device described include at least one first sensing electrode and at least one second sensing electrode distinct from the at least one first sensing electrode. First electrocardiogram (ECG) signals detected by the first sensing electrode are analyzed to provide an initial declaration of the arrhythmia condition of the patient. As a treatment protocol is being initiated in response to the analysis of the first ECG signals, second ECG signals detected by the second sensing electrode are analyzed to verify the initial declaration of the arrhythmia.

Abstract: A medical device to monitor and treat a patient includes at least one ECG sensing electrode configured to sense a patient ECG signal, a plurality of therapy electrodes configured to deliver one or more therapeutic shocks, and a controller. The controller is configured to select a first ECG template based on a first ECG signal received during a first period of time, select a second ECG template based on determining from a second ECG signal received during a second period of time that the second ECG template represents a better fit, determine whether the patient is experiencing a treatable cardiac event based in part on one or more morphological differences between the second ECG signal and one or more of the first and second ECG template, and cause the medical device to initiate a treatment sequence in response to determining that the patient is experiencing the treatable cardiac event.
