MULTI-DEVICE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM AND PROGRAMMING METHODS

摘要

An external medical device is capable of bidirectional wireless communication with multiple implantable medical devices (IMDs). The external medical device is configured to determine an active membership of an IMD system present in a patient, establish programmable parameters for the IMD system based on the active membership, and transmit values for the established programmable parameters to the active membership.

1. An external medical device, comprising:
a telemetry module configured for bidirectional wireless communication with a plurality of implantable medical devices; and a control module configured to:
determine an active membership of an implantable medical device (IMD) system, wherein the active membership comprises each one of the plurality of implantable medical devices that is present in a patient and operable,establish programmable parameters for the IMD system based on the active membership, wherein the programmable parameters control at least one of a therapy delivery operation and a physiological signal sensing operation by each of the plurality of implantable medical devices of the active membership; andcontrol the telemetry module to transmit values for the established programmable parameters to the active membership.
