Patent References 3898984 System for display and analysis of physiological signals such as electrocardiographic (ECG) signals Monitoring system for cardiac pacers Implantable telemetry transmission system for analog and digital data Method and apparatus for automatically evaluating the quality of the performance of a cardiac pacing system Apparatus for interpreting and displaying cardiac events of a heart connected to a cardiac pacing means Apparatus for interpreting and displaying cardiac events of a heart connected to a cardiac pacing means Interactive programming and diagnostic system for use with implantable pacemaker Patient identification and verification system and method Apparatus for monitoring, storing and transmitting detected physiological information InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 510369 filed on 08/02/1995US Classes:607/32, Communicating with pacer (e.g., telemetry)607/27Testing or monitoring pacer functionExaminersPrimary: Getzow, Scott M.International ClassA61N 001/02AbstractA system and method for acquiring medical data, integrating recently acquired medical data with previously acquired medical data, storing the integrated medical data, and displaying the integrated medical data to a medical practitioner in a convenient format appropriate for the type of data stored are provided. Recently acquired medical data are integrated with historical medical data in an implantable medical device programmer. The data may be initially displayed in graphical and text formats during a patient's follow-up visits. The historical medical data may be stored in the programmer, in the implantable medical device or both. Medical data may include physiologic data pertaining to the patient's medical condition, parametric data pertaining to the operational characteristics of the implantable medical device, identification data, including patient's background information, and comments including the medical practitioner's comments. | |
