System and method for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation
First Claim
1. A system for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation, comprising:
- a noncontinuously coupleable interface over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient; and
a collector, comprising;
a schedule-driven interrogator to periodically retrieve the patient data by interfacing to and interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency; and
a criteria-driven interrogator to permit further retrieval of the patient data independent of the pre-defined schedule by enabling operation of the interface based on a remotely-specifiable criteria for controlling locally-initiated patient data retrieval.

Abstract
A system and method for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation is presented. A noncontinuously coupleable interface is provided over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient. The patient data is periodically retrieved by interfacing to and interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency. Further retrieval of the patient data is permitted independent of the pre-defined schedule by enabling operation of the interface based on a remotely-specifiable criteria for controlling locally-initiated patient data retrieval.

26. An apparatus for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation, comprising:
-
means for providing a noncontinuously coupleable interface over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient; means for periodically retrieving the patient data by means for interfacing to and means for interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency; and means for permitting further retrieval of the patient data independent of the pre-defined schedule by means for enabling operation of the interface based on a remotely-specifiable criteria for controlling locally-initiated patient data retrieval.
