Methods for data retention in an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A method for retaining physiologic data in an implantable medical device, wherein the physiologic data comprises an old data record being stored in a first data structure and having an old priority index, the method comprising:
- (A) receiving a new data record;
(B) determining a new priority index of the new data record;
(C) replacing at least a portion of the old data record with at least a portion of the new data record in the first data structure; and
(D) if the old priority index exceeds a threshold criterion, storing at least a portion of the old data record in a second data structure.

Abstract
Methods 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.
