External Device for Determining an Optimal Implantable Medical Device for a Patient Using Information Determined During an External Trial Stimulation Phase |
摘要 |
An external controller is disclosed for communicating with an external trial stimulator (ETS) for an implantable medical device. The external controller is programmed with a battery algorithm able to assist a clinician in choosing a suitable implant for the patient based on battery performance parameters estimated for a number of implants during an external trial stimulation phase that precedes implantation of the implant. The algorithm is particularly useful in assisting the clinician in choosing between a rechargeable-battery implant or a primary-battery implant for the patient. |

1. A system, comprising:
an external stimulator configured to provide stimulation to a patient in accordance with an IMD stimulation program; and an algorithm configured to be programmable in control circuitry of an external device to assess a plurality of battery-powered IMDs implantable in a patient, wherein the algorithm is configured to determine at least one battery performance parameter for each of the plurality of IMDs at least in accordance with the stimulation program. |
