Sensing vector selection in a cardiac stimulus device with postural assessment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A programmer for use with an implantable medical device, the programmer comprising:
- a user interface touchscreen; and
communication circuitry for communicating with the implantable medical device;
wherein the programmer is configured to;
receive an input indicating that a patient having the implantable medical device has assumed a first posture state;
after receiving the input indicating that the first posture state has been assumed by the patient, direct, via the communication circuitry, the implantable medical device to capture data corresponding to the first posture state;
receive an indication from the implantable medical device that the data capture corresponding to the first posture state is complete; and
provide an indication on the user interface touchscreen in response to receiving the indication from the implantable medical device that the data capture corresponding to the first posture state is complete.

Abstract
Methods, implantable medical devices and systems configured to perform analysis of captured signals from implanted electrodes to identify cardiac arrhythmias. In an illustrative embodiment, signals captured from two or more sensing vectors are analyzed, where the signals are captured with a patient in at least first and second body positions. Analysis is performed to identify primary or default sensing vectors and/or templates for event detection.

9. A medical device system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising IMD communication circuitry for communicating with an external device; and a programmer for use with the IMD, the programmer comprising a user interface touchscreen, and programmer communication circuitry for communicating with the IMD; wherein the programmer is configured to; receive an input indicating that a patient having the IMD has assumed a first posture; upon receiving the input indicating the first posture has been assumed, direct, via the programmer communication circuitry, the IMD to capture data for the first posture; receive an indication from the IMD that data capture is complete for the first posture; and provide an indication on the touchscreen in response to receiving an indication from the IMD that data capture is complete for the first posture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of operation by a programmer for use with an implantable medical device (IMD), the IMD including IMD communications circuitry for communicating with the programmer, the programmer comprising:
-
a user interface touchscreen; and programmer communication circuitry for communicating with the IMD, wherein the method comprises; receiving an input indicating that a patient having the IMD has assumed a first posture; upon receiving the input indicating that the first posture has been assumed, directing, via the programmer communication circuitry, the IMD to capture data for the first posture; receiving an indication from the IMD that data capture is complete for the first posture; and
, in response thereto,providing an indication that data capture is complete for the first posture. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
