Providing and communicating data message alerts stored on medical devices
First Claim
1. A method for providing and communicating data message alerts stored on a medical device, the method comprising:
- interrogating the medical device with a computing device; and
upon interrogating the medical device, communicating via the computing device, a data message alert stored within a memory of the medical device wherein the data message alert originates from outside the medical device. (OR wherein the DMA does not originate within the medical device)

Abstract
Methods may include detecting whether a data message alert is stored in a dedicated alert field within a memory of the medical device upon interrogating the medical device with a programmer. The methods may also include communicating the data message alert via the programmer in response to detecting the data message alert stored in the dedicated alert field. A system may include a programmer, a medical device, and a link between the programmer and the medical device. The programmer is operative to provide, detect, and communicate a data message alert stored on the medical device in a dedicated alert field. The dedicated alert field is a free form data field having the capability to store the data message alert in any data format. The programmer is also operative to communicate the data message alert in any data format in which the data message alert is stored.

35. A propagated signal on a carrier detectable by a computing system and encoding data and a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process for providing and communicating data message alerts stored on a medical device, the computer process comprising:
-
receiving a data message alert via a programmer;
in response to receiving the data message alert, saving the data message alert to a memory of the medical device;
interrogating the medical device; and
upon interrogating the medical device, communicating the data message alert via the programmer wherein the data message alert originates from outside the medical device.

36. A system for providing and communicating data message alerts stored on a medical device, the system comprising:
-
a programmer, a medical device, a link between the programmer and the medical device;
the programmer operative to provide and communicate a data message alert stored on the medical device;
the medical device storing the data message alert in a memory of the medical device; and
the programmer operative to interrogate the medical device and upon interrogating the medical device, communicate the data message alert wherein the data message alert originates from outside the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
