US Patent:

20120123496, May 17, 2012

Filed:

Nov 12, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/945183

Inventors:

Elizabeth Ann Schotzko - Blaine MN, US
Matthew Robert Yoder - Crystal MN, US

Assignee:

MEDTRONIC, INC. - Fridley MN

International Classification:

A61N 1/08

US Classification:

607 28, 607 27

Abstract:

An implantable medical device (IMD) configured to detect lead connectivity as well as to identify lead type. Detecting lead connectivity provides, among other information, confirmation that the lead is connected to the IMD and that such connection has good integrity between the IMD and the electrodes of its leads. With positive affirmation regarding lead connectivity, the IMD can in turn accurately identify the lead type. Such connectivity and lead type information gives a physician enhanced confidence in using and/or reprogramming the IMD with respect to such leads.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media facilitating management of operation of an implantable medical device (“IMD”) using a number of communication modes are provided. An IMD is configured to operate in a disabled mode wherein radio frequency (RF) telemetry communication is disabled, or operate in a first advertising mode using the RF telemetry communication. The IMD receives a clinician session request from a clinician device via an induction telemetry protocol while operating in the disabled mode or the first advertising mode, and transitions to operating from the disabled mode or the first advertising mode to operating in a second advertising mode based on receiving the clinician session request. From the second advertising mode, the IMD can establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using the RF telemetry communication and a unique security mechanism facilitated by an identifier for the clinician device included in the clinician session request.

International Classification:

A61N 1/372
H04L 12/26
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

Techniques for facilitating telemetry between a medical device and an external device are provided. In one example, a medical device includes a classification component and a communication component. The classification component is configured to determine a classification for data generated by the medical device. The classification component is also configured to determine an urgency level for an advertising data packet based on the classification for the data. The communication component is also configured to broadcast the advertising data packet for the medical device at a defined beaconing rate based on the urgency level for the advertising data packet.

A61N 1/00
H04Q 9/00

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, methods and non-transitory computer readable media facilitating telemetry data communication security between an implantable device and an external clinician device are provided. An implantable device can include a security component configured to generate security information based on reception of a clinician telemetry session request from the clinician device via a first telemetry communication protocol. The security information can include a session identifier and a first session key, and the clinician telemetry session request can include a clinician device identifier associated with the clinician device. The implantable device can further include a communication component configured to establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using a second telemetry communication protocol based on determining that a connection request, received via the second telemetry communication protocol, was transmitted by the clinician device based on inclusion of the clinician device in the connection request.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that mitigate device power drain associated with stalled telemetry sessions are provided. In one embodiment, a first device includes a memory and a processor that executes executable components stored in the memory. The executable components include a communication component configured to receive a communication request from a second device via a telemetry communication link established between the first and second devices. The communication request can comprise a request for data. The executable components can also comprise a throughput monitoring component configured to monitor uplink throughput measuring successful transmission of the data by the first device to the second device via the telemetry communication link based on reception of the communication request. The communication component is configured to terminate the telemetry communication link based on the uplink throughput being below a threshold value.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that mitigate implantable medical device (IMD) power drain associated with stalled telemetry sessions are provided. In one embodiment, an IMD includes a housing configured to be implanted within a patient, a memory and a processor that executes executable components stored in the memory. The executable components include a communication component configured to receive a communication request from an external device via a telemetry communication link established between the IMD and the external device. The communication request can comprise a request for data. The executable components can also comprise a throughput monitoring component configured to monitor uplink throughput associated with transmission of the data by the IMD to the external device via the telemetry communication link based on reception of the communication request.
