    摘要: A method and system for providing a dynamic mailing list are described. The method includes creating a calendar event and creating a dynamic mailing list with a reference to the event. Clients are added to the dynamic mailing list in accordance with a client's status with regard to the event. Access is allowed to the dynamic mailing list by clients in accordance with a client's status with regard to the event. Access to the dynamic mailing list allows a client to send a message to the clients on the dynamic mailing list. A message addressed to the dynamic mailing list is received and forwarded to the clients on the dynamic mailing list. The method and system also include storing messages sent to clients on the dynamic mailing list and sending stored messages to a client added to the dynamic mailing list after the stored messages have been originally sent.

    摘要: According to the invention, a possible fault scenario involves an insulation breach of a medical lead which couples signals and/or electrical energy between a sensor and a circuit-bearing, active implantable medical device (AIMD). An initial response involves disconnecting the power source from the sensor with subsequent responses including selective reconnection of the power source. If the fault spontaneously resolves, then power to the sensor can be restored and physiologic signals transmitted to operative circuitry of the AIMD. In addition, however, an intermediate mode is enabled with the power source only coupled temporarily, for example, during intervals when stimulation and/or capture of excitable tissue (e.g., myocardial tissue) is not likely to occur due to any electrical shunt current(s). Thus, applying energy to a sensor(s) during the refractory period of a cardiac chamber eliminates undesired tissue activation. Moreover, sensed physiologic parameters can be collected without interrupting therapy delivery

    摘要: Methods and apparatus according to the disclosure include without limitation the following. A method for providing fault tolerance to an active implantable medical device (AIMD) coupled via a medical electrical lead to an implantable physiologic sensor (IPS), including a conductive member or structure for imparting a biasing force to a proximal portion of the lead. The conductive member electrically couples to a source of reference electrical potential (i.e., electrical ground) and neither contacts nor conducts a source of power for the IPS. The conductive member can include threads and interlocking tool-receiving portions and can be shielded from contact with body fluid(s) by a seal-healing grommet or septum. Furthermore, a set screw can serve as the conductive member and the set screw can include an Allen wrench receptacle or a screwdriver receptacle or equivalent.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to fault tolerant instantiations of a cardiac therapy delivery device such as an implantable cardiac stimulator (e.g., an implantable pulse generator, IPG, and/or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, ICD) coupled to an implantable physiologic sensor (IPS). According to the disclosure delivery of cardiac pacing and/or cardioversion-defibrillator therapy delivery can cause errors in output signals from an IPS. Resolution of such errors involves selectively energizing (or disconnecting the output signal from) the IPS during pacing and/or defibrillation therapy delivery. Programmable signal “blanking” in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing also improves the integrity of the output signal (i.e., continuously energize the IPS and ignore parts of the output signal). An ICD having a transient weakness in an insulated conductor used for the IPS signal can likewise have the IPS de-energized and/or blank the IPS output signal during high voltage therapy delivery.

    摘要: The invention involves monitoring on a continuous or non-continuous basis the electrical drain of a chronically implanted physiologic sensor. One of a pair of conductors is monitored for excessive current drain. For example, if an inner sensor-signal bearing conductor (of a co-axial pair) contacts conductive body fluid or tissue (e.g., due to insulation breach), a measurement of current quickly reveals the fault. Accordingly, if an increase in or a supra-threshold electrical current drain is detected the sensor power supply is disengaged. In one form, dedicated physiologic sensor to electrical circuitry disposed within the AIMD. In another form, the AIMD is adapted to sense a physiologic parameter and deliver therapy (e.g., via one or more electrodes). A manual or automatic reset can be implemented in the event that the failure mode resolves itself. The reset can include criteria such as three consecutive sub-threshold current measurements before normal operation resumes.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for estimating blood oxygen saturation independent of optical sensor encapsulation due to placement in blood, where the blood includes a blood flow characteristic of: a relatively low, a stasis, a stagnant value. The method includes determining tissue overgrowth correction factor that includes optical properties of the tissue that cause scattering of the emitted light to a detector and relative amplitudes of the emitted light wavelengths. A corrected time interval measured for infrared light is based on an infrared signal and a corrected time interval for red light is determined by subtracting red light signal due to presence of tissue overgrowth. The red light signal due to tissue overgrowth is proportional to total infrared signal less nominal infrared signal. Oxygen saturation is estimated based on standard calibration factors and the ratio of the corrected infrared time interval and the corrected red time interval.
