1. A method for indicating a programmed state of an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
- detecting a programmed state of the implantable medical device;
subsequently determining whether the implantable medical device is in the programmed state similar to the detected programmed state; and
issuing a notification when the implantable medical device is in the same programmed state.

Abstract
An implantable medical device, such as an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) issues a notification when it has been left in a programmed state for some time, possibly inadvertently. The patient or another person may then initiate a course of corrective action, such as programming the device to an appropriate state.

12. A processor-readable medium containing instructions to cause a processor to:
-
detect a programmed state of an implantable medical device;
at a subsequent time after detecting the programmed state, determine whether the implantable medical device is in the same programmed state; and
when the implantable medical device is in the same programmed state, issue a notification. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An implantable medical device comprising:
-
a control module programmable to a programmed state;
a monitoring module to detect the programmed state; and
an alert module to issue a notification when the control module remains in the programmed state at a subsequent time after the monitoring module detects the programmed state. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
