SYSTEMS COMPRISING AN IMPLANTABLE MONITOR AND A PROGRAMMER AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING STORAGE, TRANSMISSION OR DETECTION

摘要

Systems are disclosed, each including a programmable implantable monitoring device (10) and a programmer for programming the device; methods of use thereof are also disclosed. In a first system, the programmer is responsive to entry of a reason for monitoring and is configured to transmit programming commands to the implantable device including a prioritization of an arrhythmia storage criterion. The implantable monitoring device is configured to thereafter store and/or transmit records of the arrhythmia according to the prioritization. In a second system, the programmer is configured to transmit the patient's age to the implantable device and the implantable monitoring device is configured to thereafter apply arrhythmia detection criteria based upon the patient's age.
