International ClassA61B 005/02AbstractA monitoring system is provided that monitors the condition of a patient by analyzing physiological data received from implantable medical devices. The monitoring system has at least one monitoring unit, which preferably is suitable for stand-alone operation, or which may be connected to a central monitoring station. The monitoring unit, which receives the physiological data from the implantable medical devices via telemetry, determines whether a patient's physiological condition warrants attention. If the patient's condition is determined to be abnormal, the monitoring unit generates an audible alarm signal or generates an alarm signal that is transmitted to the central monitoring station.Field of SearchRADIO TELEMETRYTELEPHONE TELEMETRY Telemetry or communications circuits Remotely changing, (e.g., programming, pacer) parameters or operation Communicating with pacer (e.g., telemetry) Plural sensed conditions Output controlled by sensor responsive to body or interface condition Promoting patient safety or comfort | |
