Elective service indicator based on pulse count for implantable device
First Claim
1. A method of programming a tissue stimulation therapy device based on an elective power source service date, comprising:
- providing a programmer;
providing a display;
providing an implantable tissue stimulation therapy device having a power source of a known energy amount, the device communicably coupled to the programmer and the display, wherein the tissue stimulation therapy device comprises a baroreflex activation device;
proposing one or more therapy parameters for the device with the programmer, each therapy parameter having a known energy consumption associated therewith;
automatically determining a predicted elective service date of the power source based on the one or more proposed therapy parameters and the known energy amount of the power source;
providing an indication of the predicted elective power source service date to an operator with the display; and
in response to the operator reviewing the indicated predicted elective power source service date and selecting the one or more proposed therapy parameters based on the indicated predicted elective service date, transmitting the selected one or more therapy parameters to the device.

Abstract
The present invention is an implantable tissue stimulation therapy system, comprising an implantable tissue stimulation device including a power source of a known stored energy amount, a programmer communicably coupled to the device and adapted to propose one or more therapy parameters for the device, each therapy parameter having a known energy consumption associated therewith, wherein a predicted elective service date of the power source based on the one or more proposed therapy parameters and the known energy amount of the power source is automatically determined, and a display communicatively coupled to the activation device, the display being configured to indicate the predicted elective power source service date to an operator, wherein the operator may choose to select the one or more proposed therapy parameters based on the indicated predicted elective service date and the selected one or more therapy parameters are transmitted to the device.
