PRE-CONFIGURATION OF ELECTRODE MEASUREMENT OF AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFORE
First Claim
1. A controller for an implantable medical device having a plurality of electrodes, said implantable medical device being capable of delivering therapeutic stimulation to a patient via said plurality of electrodes, comprising:
- a control module operatively coupled to said plurality of electrodes; and
a user interface operatively coupled to said control module, said user interface providing at least partial control of said control module by a user;
said control module obtaining a plurality of measurements of integrity metrics for a group of individual ones of said plurality of electrodes, said group of individual ones of said plurality of electrodes being based upon a selection made via said user interface.

Abstract
Method, controller and system for an implantable medical device having a plurality of electrodes, the implantable medical device capable of delivering therapeutic stimulation to a patient, comprising a control module, a user interface operatively coupled to the control module, the user interface providing control of the control module by a medical professional or other user, and an electrode interface operatively coupled between the plurality of electrodes and the control module. The control module uses the electrode interface to obtain a plurality of measurements of integrity metrics for a plurality of selected pairs of individual ones of the plurality of electrodes. The control module determines a prescriptive analysis using the plurality of measurements of integrity metrics of the selected pairs of individual ones of the plurality of electrodes comparative to a range, and the user interface displays the prescriptive analysis.
