Implanted lead analysis system and method
First Claim
1. An external device for determining a lead-related condition associated with an implantable medical device (IMD) capable of being implanted in a patient:
- (a) a communication module configured to retrieve patient data from an IMD, wherein the patient data comprises at least episode data records each associated with an episode and a summary data record corresponding to one or more episodes;
(b) a processing module configured to execute rapid sensing analysis comprising;
(i) initiate periodic retrieval of a summary data record by the communication module from the IMD;
(ii) apply an episode selection criteria to the summary data record to identify one or more episodes of interest,(iii) initiate retrieval from the IMD by the communication module of one or more episode data records associated with each episode of interest, and(iv) apply noise detection criteria to the one or more episode data records; and
(c) a notification module configured to generate an alert if the noise detection criteria are satisfied.

Abstract
The technology disclosed herein relates to a method for lead analysis for an implanted medical device. A summary data record is retrieved associated with one or more episodes from an implanted medical device through a communication module. Episode selection criteria are applied to the summary data record by a processing module. One or more episode data records are retrieved from the implanted medical device for one or more episodes for which the episode selection criteria was satisfied. Noise detection criteria are applied to the episode data record. A notification module is configured to generate an alert if the noise detection criteria are satisfied.

20. An external device for determining a lead-related condition associated with an implantable medical device (IMD) capable of being implanted in a patient:
-
(a) a communication module configured to retrieve patient data from an IMD, wherein the patient data comprises at least one or more episode data records each associated with an episode and a summary data record; (b) a processing module configured to execute rapid sensing analysis comprising; (i) initiate periodic retrieval of a summary data record by the communication module from the IMD; (ii) apply an episode selection criteria to the retrieved summary data record to identify one or more episodes of interest, (iii) initiate retrieval from the IMD by the communication module of one or more episode data records associated with each episode of interest, and (iv) apply noise detection criteria to the one or more episode data record or records; and (c) a notification module configured to generate an alert if the noise detection criteria are satisfied; wherein each summary data record includes a shock indicator indicating whether a shock was delivered by the IMD for a particular episode and the episode selection criteria excludes episodes during which a shock was delivered by the IMD.
