OPERATING ENVIRONMENT MONITOR FOR MEDICAL DEVICE PROGRAMMING
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- a host computer that is communicatively coupled to an electronic medical device (EMD); and
a software platform executing on the host computer that invokes programming software and monitoring software,wherein a user interacts with the programming software to program the EMD, andwherein the monitoring software ensures that the host computer satisfies criteria for safe operation of the programming software.

Abstract
A programming system for an electronic medical device (EMD) is described. The programming system, as described in this disclosure, comprises a host computer, such as a general purpose computer in an in-clinic computer network, executing a software platform that provides an operating environment with which a user can interact to program an EMD. The software platform invokes monitoring software that ensures that the host computer satisfies criteria for safe operation of the operating environment, e.g., ensures that the host computer meets the minimum operating conditions required for reliable operation of the operating environment. In particular, the monitoring software may monitor system faults that occur during operation, as well as ensure that criteria for safe operation are satisfied prior to initiating the operating environment.
