    摘要: An analog physiologic signal, e.g., the cardiac EGM, sensed by an IMD is filtered with a high pass filter (HPF), the cut-off frequency of the HPF being within a predetermined frequency bandwidth, wherein a low-band portion of the predetermined frequency bandwidth is attenuated in the filtered physiologic signal. The filtered physiologic signal is digitized in real time order, and the digital data set is filtered in reverse time order employing a digital IIR filter having characteristics substantially matching the cut-off frequency and filter characteristics of the HPF. When the system is implemented within an IMD, the filtered digital data set is compressed by lossy compression algorithm, and the compressed data set is filtered in reverse time order. In certain embodiments, the filtered digital data set is uplink telemetry transmitted to an external medical device, and the uplink telemetered data set is filtered in reverse time order employing a digital backward IIR filter resident in the external medical device.

    摘要: A signal measuring system for use with an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is provided for measuring physiologic signals having a relatively large effective dynamic range. In one embodiment, the system includes a High-Pass Filter (HPF), an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), a Decimation Filter (DF), and a Compensation Filter (CF). The HPF receives an input signal that includes both the baseline wander imposed on a physiological signal. According to one aspect of the invention, the HPF attenuates low frequency components of the input signal, including a portion of the frequency band within the desired output signal bandwidth. The ADC then oversamples the output signal of the HPF. The DF receives the output samples from the ADC and generates output samples at rate that is at least twice the maximum frequency of the desired output signal. The CF then amplifies the low frequency end of the DF output samples. The gain and cutoff frequency of the CF are selected to offset the HPF attenuation of those low frequency components of the input signal below the cutoff frequency of the HPF and above the minimum frequency of the desired output signal. In one embodiment, the DF and CF are implemented by a processing circuit executing programmed instructions. The processing circuit may be included within the IMD, or may be partially or fully implemented within a device that is external to the IMD.

    摘要: In general, the disclosure relates to techniques for calculating mean impedance values and impedance variability values to detect a possible condition with a lead or device-lead pathway or connection. In one example, a device may be configured to determine an impedance value for an electrical path based on a plurality of measured impedance values for the electrical path, wherein the electrical path comprises a plurality of electrodes, and to determine an impedance variability value based on at least one of the plurality of measured impedance values. The device may be further configured to determine a threshold value based on the determined impedance value and the impedance variability value, compare a newly measured impedance value for the electrical path to the threshold value, and indicate a possible condition of the electrical path based on the comparison.

    摘要: A system and method for use in a medical device for discriminating cardiac events establishes population-based thresholds corresponding to cardiac signal morphology metrics for discriminating between a first cardiac event and a second cardiac event. A population-based threshold criterion for discriminating cardiac events is established. The population-based threshold criterion is applied to a cardiac signal segment and the segment is classified if the criterion is satisfied. A patient-specific threshold is established in response to the sensed cardiac signal segment not being classified after applying the population-based threshold criterion. The sensed signal segment is classified in response to the patient-specific threshold comparison.
