Dosing limitation for an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. An implantable medical device (IMD) comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive an external input;
a memory configured to store at least one threshold value;
a stimulation mode controller coupled to the input interface and the memory, the stimulation mode controller configured to temporarily interrupt a normal stimulation mode of the IMD in response to the external input;
an alternative stimulation selection module coupled to the stimulation mode controller, the alternative stimulation selection module configured to determine whether to implement an alternative mode of electrical signal therapy based on the external input, the at least one threshold value stored in the memory, and a time period, the alternative mode of electrical signal therapy differing in at least one stimulation parameter from the normal stimulation mode of the IMD; and
wherein the stimulation mode controller is further configured to implement the alternative mode of electrical signal therapy based on a determination of the alternative stimulation selection module.

Abstract
An implantable medical device (IMD) including an input interface that operates to receive an external input and a stimulation mode controller coupled to the input interface. The stimulation mode controller operates to temporarily interrupt a normal stimulation mode of the IMD in response to the external input. The IMD also includes an alternative stimulation selection module coupled to the stimulation mode controller, the alternative stimulation selection module operating to determine whether to implement an alternative mode of electrical signal therapy based on the external input and a threshold. The alternative mode differs in at least one stimulation parameter from the normal stimulation mode. The stimulation mode controller further operates to implement the alternative mode of the electrical signal therapy based on the determination of the alternative stimulation selection module.
