Patient specific data driven safety interlocks for medical devices
First Claim
1. A method of generating patient specific interlocks for a medical device, the method comprising:
- sensing at least one patient function of a patient with a medical device;
collecting sensed patient function data from the sensing of the at least one patient function;
analyzing the collected patient function data; and
based at least in part on the analyzed collected patient function data, generating at least one patient specific interlock that denies specific operational change requests to the medical device.

Abstract
A medical device is provided that includes an input/output, at least one sensor, a memory, a controller and at least one delivery member. The input/output is configured to provide a communication path to and from the medical device. The at least one sensor is used to monitor at least one patient function. The memory is used to store patient specific data from the at least one sensor and operating parameters of the medical device. The controller is used to control operations of the medical device. The controller is in communication with the at least one sensor, the memory and the input/output. The controller is configured to deny device operational change requests received via the input/output based at least in part on the patient specific data sensed by the at least one sensor. The at least one delivery member is under the control of the controller and is configured to provide a therapeutic function of the medical device.

9. A method of operating a medical device, the method comprising:
-
measuring at least one patient function with the medical device; when a request is received at an input to the medical device to change at least one operating parameter of a medical device, applying at least one patient specific interlock that is based at least in part on the at least one measured patient function to determine if the requested change to the at least one operating parameter of the medical device should be permitted; and denying the input request to change the at least one operating parameter of the medical device when it is determined that the at least one patient specific interlock does not allow the requested change. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
