Abstract: A method of employing an implantable medical device to detect pacemaker mediated tachycardia (PMT) and adjusting a parameter (e.g. PVARP) in response to confirmation of the PMT. The method comprises, with a processor located in the implantable medical device, (1) measuring a first Vp-As (VA1), (2) lengthening SAV by 50 ms for 1 beat in response to measuring VA1, (3) measuring a second Vp-As (VA2), (4) returning to a normal SAV, (5) measuring a third Vp-As (VA3), (6) determining whether VA1=VA2 and VA1=VA3, (7) in response to determining whether VA1=VA2 and VA1=VA3, confirming presence of PMT, and (8) in response to confirming presence of PMT, PVARP is extended.

Abstract: A TETS having an external controller having a power source, a transmission coil in communication with the external controller, a receiving coil configured for transcutaneous inductive communication with the transmission coil, and an implantable controller in communication with the receiving coil and an implantable blood pump. The implantable controller has a battery configured to receive power from the receiving coil and the external controller is configured to categorize power transfer states based on predetermined thresholds of efficiency and power demand, and user display states (associated with optional configurable notifications) based on the power transfer states and predetermined temperature thresholds of the transmission coil.

Abstract: A system for minimizing misalignment notifications for a TETS having an implantable blood pump, an external controller having a power source and a processing circuitry, a transmission coil in communication with the external controller, a receiving coil configured for transcutaneous inductive communication with the transmission coil, and an implantable controller in communication with the receiving coil and the implantable blood pump. The implantable controller having a power source configured to receive power from the receiving coil. The processing circuitry may be configured to: operate in a first mode where an alert is generated when a power efficiency transfer between the transmission coil and the receiving coil is below a first predetermined threshold; and operate in a second mode where the alert is only generated when the power remaining in the power source for the implantable controller is below a first predetermined power source threshold.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and non-transitory computer readable media facilitating telemetry data communication security between an implantable device and an external clinician device are provided. An implantable device can include a security component configured to generate security information based on reception of a clinician telemetry session request from the clinician device via a first telemetry communication protocol. The security information can include a session identifier and a first session key, and the clinician telemetry session request can include a clinician device identifier associated with the clinician device. The implantable device can further include a communication component configured to establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using a second telemetry communication protocol based on determining that a connection request, received via the second telemetry communication protocol, was transmitted by the clinician device based on inclusion of the clinician device in the connection request.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) performs, within a first predetermined time following an implantation, a first device test sequence over an evaluation period. The device test sequence includes at least two of: detecting an impedance for at least one electrical path having at least one electrode, and comparing the impedance to a first predetermined impedance threshold to determine a connection status of the IMD; comparing, over an electrogram (EGM) test period, at least one EGM event of the patient against a first predetermined EGM event threshold; determining a first pacing capture threshold of the IMD; and detecting at least one clinical or patient-specific physiologic metric, and comparing the physiologic metric to a first predetermined physiologic metric threshold. The IMD transmits within a second predetermined time a status signal to an external device indicating a status of at least one of the diagnostic tests in the first device test sequence.

Abstract: An example system includes memory configured to store a plurality of lead impedances (LeadZs) and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first sensed LeadZ, and determine a second sensed LeadZ. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first difference between the first sensed LeadZ and the second sensed LeadZ, and determine a parameter based at least in part on the first difference. The first sensed LeadZ and the second sensed LeadZ are sensed during a same first cardiac cycle or adjacent cardiac cycles of a heart that is receiving pacing.
