Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media facilitating management of operation of an implantable medical device (“IMD”) using a number of communication modes are provided. An IMD is configured to operate in a disabled mode wherein radio frequency (RF) telemetry communication is disabled, or operate in a first advertising mode using the RF telemetry communication. The IMD receives a clinician session request from a clinician device via an induction telemetry protocol while operating in the disabled mode or the first advertising mode, and transitions to operating from the disabled mode or the first advertising mode to operating in a second advertising mode based on receiving the clinician session request. From the second advertising mode, the IMD can establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using the RF telemetry communication and a unique security mechanism facilitated by an identifier for the clinician device included in the clinician session request.

Abstract: Techniques for mitigating transmission of stale data from an implantable device are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring one or more data items stored in a data management queue prior to submission to a packet transmission queue for transmission as packets on a communication network to one or more other devices. The method also includes discarding a data item from the data management queue based on a determination that the data item has an expected arrival time to another device that is after a latest acceptable arrival time associated with the data item. The method also includes estimating a size of the packet transmission queue, and transmitting another data item from the data management queue to the packet transmission queue based on a determination that the size of the packet transmission queue has a defined relationship to the threshold size.

Abstract: A method and system for feedback control for cryo-mapping and cryoablation are disclosed. According to one aspect, a cryo-mapping and cryoablation control system includes a first control device configured to receive a target parameter value and a measured output parameter and to output an injection pressure target signal based on a first difference between the target parameter value and the measured output parameter. The system also includes a second control device configured to receive the injection pressure target signal and to output a valve control signal, the valve control signal being used to set a position of an injection pressure valve. The first control device is configured to determine a value of the injection pressure target signal to drive the first difference toward zero.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that facilitate monitoring the integrity of telemetry connectivity between an implantable device and an external device are provided. In one embodiment, an implantable device includes a monitoring component that monitors advertisement signal information identifying an amount of advertisement signals transmitted to the external device within a defined time period, and telemetry session information identifying an amount of the telemetry sessions that are established between the external device and the implantable device within the defined time period. A connectivity assessment component of the implantable device further determines whether a telemetry connectivity problem exists between the external device and the implantable device based on a degree of miscorrelation between the advertisement signal information and the telemetry session information.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that mitigate device power drain associated with stalled telemetry sessions are provided. In one embodiment, a first device includes a memory and a processor that executes executable components stored in the memory. The executable components include a communication component configured to receive a communication request from a second device via a telemetry communication link established between the first and second devices.

The executable components can also comprise a throughput monitoring component configured to monitor uplink throughput measuring successful transmission of the data by the first device to the second device via the telemetry communication link based on reception of the communication request. The communication component is configured to terminate the telemetry communication link based on the uplink throughput being below a threshold value.
