Publication number: 20240065607Abstract: A system and method for detecting and verifying bradycardia/asystole episodes includes sensing an electrogram (EGM) signal. The EGM signal is compared to a primary threshold to sense events in the EGM signal, and at least one of a bradycardia or an asystole is detected based on the comparison. In response to detecting at least one of a bradycardia or an asystole, the EGM signal is compared to a secondary threshold to sense events under-sensed by the primary threshold. The validity of the bradycardia or the asystole is determined based on the detected under-sensed events.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Shantanu Sarkar, Michael Hudziak, Jerry D. Reiland, Erin Reisfeld

Patent number: 11400298Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using a rate of wireless telemetry of an implantable medical device (IMD) to estimate a remaining longevity of a power source of the IMD. For example, the IMD sets a timer indicative of a remaining power capacity of the power source until a recommended replacement time (RRT) threshold. The IMD determines a power consumption of the IMD due to telemetry and updates, based on the power consumption of the IMD due to telemetry, the timer indicative of the remaining power capacity of the power source. The IMD determines, based on expiration of the timer indicative of the remaining power capacity of the power source, that the power source has reached the RRT threshold. In some examples, the IMD may output, to an external device and for display to a user, an indication that the power source has reached the RRT threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Matthew J.
