Systems and methods for utilizing identification devices in a wearable medical therapy device
First Claim
1. A wearable medical device configured to be worn by an ambulatory patient, comprising:
- a defibrillator configured to deliver therapeutic shocks to the ambulatory patient;
at least one sensor operatively connected to the defibrillator and configured to be worn by the ambulatory patient and monitor at least one physiological signal of the ambulatory patient;
one or more therapy pads operatively connected to the defibrillator and configured to administer the therapeutic shocks to the ambulatory patient;
a garment worn by the ambulatory patient and configured to support the at least one sensor and the one or more therapy pads;
at least one first identification device associated with the wearable medical device and configured to have device information read therefrom and written thereto; and
at least one controller operatively connected to the at least one sensor and the at least one identification device and configured to at least one of retrieve the device information from the at least one identification device and write the device information to the at least one identification device,wherein the at least one first identification device is configured to be;
interrogated by at least one device positioned externally from the wearable medical device to obtain the device information from the at least one first identification device and write the device information to at least one second identification device; and
provided with a command by the at least one device positioned externally from the wearable medical device to cause the at least one controller to enter into a test mode when the command is read from the at least one first identification device; and
wherein the device information comprises at least one of patient parameters of the ambulatory patient wearing the wearable medical device, and self-test mode configuration.

16. A system comprising:
-
a first wearable medical device comprising; a first defibrillator configured to deliver therapeutic shocks to an ambulatory patient; at least one first sensor operatively connected to the first defibrillator and configured to be worn by the ambulatory patient and monitor at least one physiological signal of the ambulatory patient; one or more first therapy pads operatively connected to the first defibrillator and configured to administer the therapeutic shocks to the ambulatory patient; a first garment configured to be worn by the ambulatory patient and configured to support the at least one first sensor and the one or more first therapy pads; a first identification device configured to have first device information and self-test configuration information read therefrom and written thereto, and a first controller operatively connected to the first identification device and configured to write the first device information and self-test configuration information to the first identification device, wherein the first identification device is configured to be interrogated to obtain the first device information and self-test configuration information; a second wearable medical device, wherein the second wearable medical device is configured to be a clone of the first wearable medical device, the second wearable medical device comprising; a second defibrillator configured to deliver therapeutic shocks to the ambulatory patient; at least one second sensor operatively connected to the second defibrillator and configured to be worn by the ambulatory patient and monitor at least one physiological signal of the ambulatory patient; one or more second therapy pads operatively connected to the second defibrillator and configured to administer the therapeutic shocks to the ambulatory patient; a second garment configured to be worn by the ambulatory patient and configured to support the at least one second sensor and the one or more second therapy pads; a second identification device configured to receive the first device information and self-test configuration information from the first identification device such that the first device information and self-test configuration information is written to the second identification device, and a second controller operatively connected to the second identification device and configured to; retrieve the first device information and self-test configuration information from the second identification device; store the first device information and self-test configuration information in a memory operably connected to the second controller such that the retrieved first device information and self-test configuration information is cloned from the written first device information of the first wearable medical device; and operate the second wearable medical device in accordance with the retrieved first device information and self-test configuration information that is cloned from the written first device information and self-test configuration information of the first wearable medical device; and at least one device positioned externally from the first wearable medical device and the second wearable medical device to write into the first or second identification device a command to cause the corresponding first controller of the first wearable medical device or second controller of the second wearable medical device to enter into a test mode based on the command. - View Dependent Claims (17)
