Remote programming of MRI settings of an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an implantable medical device (IMD) configured to be programmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings for use during an MRI scan and the IMD storing identity data that uniquely identifies the IMD or a patient having the IMD, wherein the MRI settings include one or more of the group consisting of numerical values for particular parameter settings, MRI pulse width setting, an indication of which chambers are paced, an MRI pace amplitude, an MRI pace rate, an MRI settings timer and a selection for a validity timeframe;
a server configured to receive MRI settings associated with the IMD, and configured to store the MRI settings associated with the IMD; and
a portable retrieval programmer comprising;
a housing configured for portability by a user;
a first communication module in the housing configured to communicate with the server to retrieve the MRI settings associated with the IMD;
a device communication module connectible to and disconnectible from the housing and configured to communicate with the IMD to retrieve the identity data and program the IMD with the MRI settings; and
a power source in the housing configured to supply power for components of the programmer.

Abstract
A system including an implantable medical device (IMD) configured to be programmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings for use during an MRI scan, a server configured to receive MRI settings associated with the IMD, and configured to store the MRI settings associated with the IMD, and a portable retrieval programmer. The portable retrieval programmer includes a housing configured for portability by a user, a first communication module in the housing configured to communicate with the server to retrieve the MRI settings associated with the IMD, and a device communication module connectible to and disconnectible from the housing and configured to communicate with the IMD to retrieve the identity data and program the IMD with the MRI settings.

19. A system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device (IMD) configured to be programmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) settings for use during an MRI scan and the IMD storing identity data that uniquely identifies the IMD or a patient having the IMD, wherein the MRI settings include one or more of the group consisting of numerical values for particular parameter settings, MRI pulse width setting, an indication of which chambers are paced, an MRI pace amplitude, an MRI pace rate, an MRI settings timer and a selection for a validity timeframe; a server configured to receive MRI settings associated with the IMD from a device clinic programmer, and configured to store the MRI settings associated with the IMD at a first time; and a tablet computer comprising; a first communication module configured to communicate with the server to retrieve the MRI settings associated with the IMD at a second time later than the first time, wherein the first communication module initiates contact with the server; a power source configured to supply power for components of the tablet computer, an interface module connectible to and disconnectible from the tablet computer and configured to communicate with the IMD to retrieve the identity data and program the IMD with the MRI settings. - View Dependent Claims (20)
