Techniques for data reporting in an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A method for reporting physiologic data from an implantable medical device to another device, comprising:
- (A) determining a corresponding priority index for each of a plurality of data records, wherein each corresponding priority index depends upon a severity level, and wherein the severity level characterizes an associated physiologic event;
(B) selecting a set of data records from the plurality of data records based upon the corresponding priority indexes; and
(C) communicating data associated with the set of selected data records to the other device via telemetry.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for storing data records associated with a medical monitoring event in a data structure. An implanted device obtains data and stores the data in the data record in a first data structure that is age-based. Before an oldest data record is lost, the oldest data record may be stored in a second data structure that is priority index-based. The priority index may be determined by a severity level and may be further determined by associated factors. The implanted device may organize, off-load, report, and/or display a plurality of data records based on an associated priority index. Additionally, the implanted device may select a subset or composite of physiologic channels from the available physiologic channels based on a selection criterion.

24. An apparatus for reporting a physiologic data, comprising:
-
(A) a processing component;
(B) computer executable instructions for;
(i) determining a corresponding priority index for each data record of a collection of data records, wherein the corresponding priority index depends upon a severity level, and wherein the severity level characterizes an associated physiologic event;
(ii) organizing the collection of data records; and
(iii) selecting a number of data records from the collection to form selected data records; and
(C) a telemetry module communicating data associated with the selected data records to the external component via telemetry. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
