Techniques for selective channel processing and data retention in an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A method for processing physiologic data, comprising:
- (A) dynamically selecting a first subset of physiologic channels from a plurality of physiologic channels based on a selection criterion at a first time value;
(B) retaining a first data associated with the first subset of physiologic channels;
(C) dynamically selecting a second subset of physiologic channels from the plurality of physiologic channels based on the selection criterion at a second time value; and
(D) retaining a second data associated with the second subset of physiologic channels.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for storing data records associated with a medical monitoring event in a data structure. An implanted device obtains data and stores the data in the data record in a first data structure that is age-based. Before an oldest data record is lost, the oldest data record may be stored in a second data structure that is priority index-based. The priority index may be determined by a severity level and may be further determined by associated factors. The implanted device may organize, off-load, report, and/or display a plurality of data records based on an associated priority index. Additionally, the implanted device may select a subset or composite of physiologic channels from the available physiologic channels based on a selection criterion.

15. A medical device for processing physiologic data, comprising:
-
(A) a physiologic sensing component that obtains the physiologic data from a plurality of physiologic channels;
(B) a channel selection component that selects a subset of physiologic channels from the plurality of physiologic channels based on a selection criterion, wherein the selection criterion is associated with a characteristic of at least one of the plurality of physiologic channels; and
(C) a memory component that stores channel data corresponding to the subset of physiologic channels. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
