Optimizing the operation of a restriction system

摘要

Methods and devices for optimizing the operation of a restriction system for forming a restriction in a patient are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for optimizing the operation of a gastric restriction system includes providing an implantable restriction system for forming a restriction in a patient, determining an optimum value of a control parameter of the restriction system, and maintaining the control parameter at the optimum value such that a result parameter of the restriction system is substantially convergent as a function of time.
Determining an optimum value of a control parameter can generally include adjusting the restriction device, determining the value of the control parameter to be optimized, and repeating the steps of adjusting the restriction device and determining the value of the control parameter until the control parameter is substantially convergent as a function of time.
