Abstract:
Aspects herein include an implantable medical device, such as an implantable cardiac rhythm management device. The implantable medical device can include a housing, control circuitry disposed within the housing, and telemetry circuitry in electrical communication with the control circuitry. The control circuitry can be configured to execute a post-procedural system check procedure after the expiration of a preselected first time period. The first time period can be greater than or equal to 0.5 hours and less than or equal to 48 hours. In various aspects, the post-procedural system check procedure can include measuring diagnostic properties for one or more electrodes of an electrical stimulation lead attached to the implantable medical device. The first time period can begin to elapse after detection of a triggering event or a command by a system operator.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to an ambulatory medical device comprising a coil antenna, a transceiver circuit, and a control circuit. The transceiver circuit includes a receiver to detect a communication signal received by the coil antenna. The control circuit includes a timeout timer and is configured to set the receiver to an active mode, set the receiver to an inactive mode when the timeout timer expires after a first timeout duration and the communication signal is not detected by the receiver, maintain the receiver in the active mode when the communication signal is detected by the receiver before the timeout timer expires, decode a command in the communication signal to set the timeout timer to a second timeout duration, and set the receiver to the inactive mode when the timeout timer expires after the second timeout duration and the communication signal is not detected.
