ELECTIVE REPLACEMENT INDICATION GENERATION

摘要

This disclosure describes techniques for generating an elective replacement indication (ERI) for an implantable medical device having a non-rechargeable power source. A signal may be sampled that is indicative of a characteristic of the power source. Measurement logic may be configured to obtain samples of a signal indicative of a characteristic of the power source. A control circuit may be configured to determine when a first sample of the signal having a first predetermined relationship to a first threshold is received, and to initiate issuance of an elective replacement indication if a predetermined period of time elapses between receipt of the first sample and receipt of a second sample of the signal having a second predetermined relationship to a second threshold.

主权项

1. A method for monitoring a power source of an implantable medical device, comprising:
sampling a signal indicative of a characteristic of the power source; determining, by a control circuit, when a first sample of the signal having a first predetermined relationship to a first threshold is received; and issuing, by the control circuit, an elective replacement indication if at least a predetermined amount of time elapses after receipt of the first sample and before receipt of a second sample of the signal having a second predetermined relationship to a second threshold.
