EVENT TRIGGERED PROGNOSTICS

摘要

The present disclosure describes an implantable medical device utilizing an event-triggered prognostic indicator. The disclosure describes techniques for prognostics and management of implantable medical systems to facilitate continuity of performance of sensing and therapy delivery functions by providing adequate response time to handle emerging issues prior to adverse clinical impacts. In accordance with the present disclosure, event-triggered prognostic indicators facilitate the identification of potential device conditions.

主权项

1. An implantable medical device having an event-triggered prognostic indicator, comprising:
a sensor operatively configured to derive a first plurality of parameters associated with a function of the implantable medical device; memory configured to store information corresponding to the first plurality of parameters; and a control module configured to:
evaluate the first plurality of parameters to determine whether a first threshold has been met, andactivate a diagnostic evaluation of a component associated with performing the function in response to the first threshold being met, wherein the first threshold corresponds to a potential failure of the component.
