INTERROGATION OF STORED DATA IN IMPLANTABLE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an implantable medical device (IMD); and
an external device in communication with the IMD and configured to receive an user input to perform an initial interrogation of the IMD using the external device, initiate transfer of first data from the IMD to the external device during the initial interrogation, display first data at the external device and automatically initiate background transfer of second data from the IMD to the external device during or after display of first data at the external device and without requiring a user request for the second data during the initial interrogation.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for receiving user input to perform an initial interrogation of an implantable medical device (IMD) using an external device. The initial interrogation commences a communication session between the IMD and the external device. During the initial interrogation, first data is transferred from the IMD to the external device and displayed at the external device. The first data comprises device configuration data of the IMD. During the initial interrogation, background transfer of second data from the IMD to the external device is initiated during or after the display of first data, without requiring a user request for the second data. The second data comprises historical physiological episode data.
