SELECTION OF OPTIMAL CHANNEL FOR RATE DETERMINATION
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device, comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes disposed at spaced apart positions about a patient'"'"'s body; and
a control unit including;
a sensor interface coupled to the plurality of electrodes and configured to receive a first ECG signal from a first pairing of the plurality of electrodes and to receive a second ECG signal from a second pairing of the plurality of electrodes;
to a memory storing information indicating a preferred pairing, the preferred pairing being either the first pairing or the second pairing; and
a processor coupled to the sensor interface and the memory and configured to resolve conflicts between interpretations of first ECG signal and the second ECG signal in favor of the preferred pairing.

Abstract
According to at least one example, an ambulatory medical device is provided. The device includes a plurality of electrodes disposed at spaced apart positions about a patient'"'"'s body and a control unit. The control unit includes a sensor interface, a memory and a processor. The sensor interface is coupled to the plurality of electrodes and configured to receive a first ECG signal from a first pairing of the plurality of electrodes and to receive a second ECG signal from a second pairing of the plurality of electrodes. The memory stores information indicating a preferred pairing, the preferred pairing being either the first pairing or the second pairing. The processor is coupled to the sensor interface and the memory and is configured to resolve conflicts between interpretations of first ECG signal and the second ECG signal in favor of the preferred pairing.
