Pre-configuration of electrode measurement of an implantable medical device, system and method therefore
First Claim
1. A controller for an implantable medical device having a plurality of electrodes, said implantable medical device being capable of delivering therapeutic stimulation to a patient via said plurality of electrodes, comprising:
- a control module operatively coupled to said plurality of electrodes; and
a user interface operatively coupled to said control module, said user interface providing at least partial control of said control module by a user;
said control module being configured to;
establish a plurality of predetermined groups of electrodes, at least one of said plurality of predetermined groups comprising a subset of said plurality of electrodes; and
select at least one of said plurality of predetermined groups of electrodes via said user interface to establish at least one selected predetermined group of electrodes; and
obtain a plurality of measurements of integrity metrics for electrodes, based upon whether said electrodes are contained within said at least one selected predetermined group of electrodes.

Abstract
Method, controller and system for an implantable medical device having a plurality of electrodes, the implantable medical device capable of delivering therapeutic stimulation to a patient, comprising a control module, a user interface operatively coupled to the control module, the user interface providing control of the control module by a medical professional or other user, and an electrode interface operatively coupled between the plurality of electrodes and the control module. The control module uses the electrode interface to obtain a plurality of measurements of integrity metrics for a plurality of selected pairs of individual ones of the plurality of electrodes. The control module determines a prescriptive analysis using the plurality of measurements of integrity metrics of the selected pairs of individual ones of the plurality of electrodes comparative to a range, and the user interface displays the prescriptive analysis.
