System and method for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation
First Claim
1. A system for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation, comprising:
- a noncontinuously coupleable interface over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient; and
a collector, configured to;
periodically retrieve the patient data by interfacing to and interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency; and
permit patient-initiated patient data retrieval independent of the pre-defined schedule;
wherein the system is configured to;
store remotely-specifiable criteria specified by a caregiver;
control patient-initiated patient data retrieval in accordance with the criteria; and
receive modifications to the remotely-specifiable criteria in response to an attempted further retrieval of the patient data.

Abstract
A system and method for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation is presented. A noncontinuously coupleable interface is provided over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient. The patient data is periodically retrieved by interfacing to and interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency. Further retrieval of the patient data is permitted independent of the pre-defined schedule by enabling operation of the interface based on a remotely-specifiable criteria for controlling locally-initiated patient data retrieval.

24. An apparatus for managing locally-initiated medical device interrogation, comprising:
-
means for providing a noncontinuously coupleable interface over which to retrieve patient data recorded and transiently staged by a medical device monitoring physiological measures of a patient; means for periodically retrieving the patient data by means for interfacing to and means for interrogating the medical device per a pre-defined schedule defining autonomous patient data retrieval frequency; and means for controlling locally patient-initiated patient data retrieval independent of the pre-defined schedule based on a remotely-specifiable criteria specified by a caregiver; and means to receive modifications to the remotely-specifiable criteria in response to an attempted further retrieval of the patient data.
