Change log for implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A method for logging in an implantable device, comprising:
- storing, in a memory circuit of the implantable device, an executable program and one or more programmable parameters, each of which may be in one a plurality of different states and is initially in a first state, to be used by the executable program to deliver a therapy;
testing whether the first state of a programmable parameter is within an acceptable range;
if the first state of a parameter is found to not be within an acceptable range, changing the parameter state from the first state to a second state;
maintaining a parameter log that includes entries made when a change in the state of a parameter is made; and
,storing in the parameter log the first state and the second state of a parameter whose state is changed.

Abstract
A method and system for recording changes to programmable parameters in an implantable pulse generator. An executable program is stored in an implantable pulse generator. A parameter log is maintained in the implantable pulse generator, where the parameter log is used to record changes to the state of one or more programmable parameters of the executable program. When a change is detected in the state, from a first state to a second state, of the one or more programmable parameters the first state of the one or more programmable parameters changed to the second state are recorded in the parameter log. The parameter log is retrievable to allow for analysis of when and how changes took place to the executable program.

17. A implantable device for delivering therapy, comprising:
-
a memory circuit; a microprocessor coupled to the memory circuit; an executable program and one or more programmable parameters stored in the memory circuit, each of which may be in one a plurality of different states and is initially in a first state, wherein the executable program delivers a therapy executed by the microprocessor; an electronic circuitry reset program executed by the microprocessor that is configured to; test whether the first state of a programmable parameter is within an acceptable range; if the first state of a parameter is found to not be within an acceptable range, change the parameter state from the first state to a second state; maintain a parameter log that includes entries made when a change in the state of a parameter is made; and
,store in the parameter log the first state and the second state of a parameter whose state is changed. - View Dependent Claims (18)
