  • Method and system for programming an implantable cardiac device
    Patent number: 7110818
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a medical device parameter profile to a programmer that is remote from where the parameter profile was created is described. The system includes a first programmer creating a parameter profile for a specific classification. The classes are defined by therapy or patient status. A communication system for communicating the parameter profile to at least one additional programmer that is remote from the first programmer.
    Type: Grant

  • User navigation and guidance during configuration and storage of parameters for medical device
    Patent number: 6842644
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a navigation and guidance sequence during configuration, input, and storage of programmable parameters for use in a medical device. One embodiment includes a cardiac rhythm management device as the medical device. The navigational sequence provides a series of interfaces on which parameter input fields are displayed. In one embodiment, the interfaces are graphical user interfaces. Each interface may include a plurality of different sets of parameter input fields with only one set being displayed at a time.
