Preserving patient specific data in implantable pulse generator systems

摘要

A method and a system for preserving patient specific data in implantable pulse generator systems. A communication link is established with a first implantable pulse generator. Electronic cardiac data contained within the first implantable pulse generator is retrieved through the communication link. The electronic cardiac data is then electronically downloaded to a second implantable pulse generator. Prior to downloading, the electronic cardiac data can be formatted into a format compatible with the second implantable pulse generator.
