1. A failure detection system comprising:
- a first medical device comprising;
one or more memory devices;
one or more sensors; and
one or more processors configured to;
receive one or more signals from a second medical device, the second medical device configured to detect an epileptic seizure characteristic;
determine a presence and a quality of the one or more signals;
determine that the second medical device is in a first condition based on the determined signal presence and the determined signal quality where the first condition is that one or more operations of the second medical device have been modified inadvertently; and
determine that the second medical device is in a second condition based on the determined signal presence and the determined signal quality where the second condition is that the second medical device is operating properly.

Abstract
A failure detection and warning system for monitoring a medical device wherein the system structured to passively or actively detect faults occurring in the medical device being monitored, and wherein the fault includes an unprogrammed and/or undesired shut off of the medical device being monitored or an unprogrammed and/or undesired shut-off of the output of the medical device being monitored by the system.

20. A centralized monitoring system comprising:
-
a first monitoring device comprising; one or more memory devices; one or more sensors; and one or more processors configured to; receive one or more signals from at least one of an implantable medical device and a second monitoring device, the implantable medical device and the second monitoring device being configured to detect an epileptic seizure characteristic; determine a presence and a quality of the one or more signals; determine that the second monitoring device is in a first condition based on the determined second monitoring device signal presence and the determined second monitoring device signal quality where the first condition is that one or more operations of the second monitoring device have been modified inadvertently; and determine that the second monitoring device is in a second condition based on the determined second monitoring device signal presence and the determined second monitoring device signal quality where the second condition is that the second monitoring device is operating properly. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A monitoring system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device; an external medical monitoring device including one or more memory units, one or more sensors, and one or more external medical monitoring device processors configured to; receive one or more signals from the implantable medical device; determine a presence and a quality of the one or more signals; determine that the implantable medical device is in a first condition based on the determined implantable medical device signal presence and the determined implantable medical device signal quality where the first condition is that one or more operations of the implantable medical device have been modified inadvertently; and determine that the implantable medical device is in a second condition based on the determined implantable medical device signal presence and the determined implantable medical device signal quality where the second condition is that the implantable medical device is operating properly; and a centralized monitoring device including one or more memory modules, one or more sensors, and one or more centralized monitoring device processors configured to; receive one or more signals from at least one of the implantable medical device and the external medical monitoring device; determine the presence and the quality of the one or more signals; determine that at least one of the implantable medical device and the external monitoring device is in a first condition based on the determined signal presence and the determined signal quality where the first condition is that one or more operations of at least one of the implantable medical device and the external monitoring device have been modified inadvertently; and determine that at least one of the implantable medical device and the external monitoring device is in a second condition based on the determined signal presence and the determined signal quality where the second condition is that at least one of the implantable medical device and the external monitoring device is operating properly. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
