Abstract: A device for graphically reconstructing information received from a medical device is provided. The device comprises an event processor configured to process information received from a medical device by receiving electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and determining at least one cardiac event based on the ECG recordings, receiving data corresponding to non-cardiac event(s), determining a time of occurrence or a time period associated with the cardiac event(s), determining times of occurrences and time periods associated with the non-cardiac event(s), correlating the time of occurrence or time period associated with the cardiac event(s) and the non-cardiac event(s), identifying one or more gaps in the ECG recordings, and reconstructing the ECG recordings during the one or more gaps based at least in part on the received non-cardiac data. The event processor is also configured to generate a graphical representation of the processed information based on the cardiac event(s) and non-cardiac event(s).

Abstract: An ambulatory medical device includes a sensor configured to acquire a signal indicative of a physiological condition of a patient, a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to monitor the physiological signal, and to perform a diagnostic test, and a remote access manager operatively coupled to the controller and configured to monitor for a command from a remote system to perform the diagnostic test, and to cause the controller to perform the diagnostic test in response to the command. In the device, the remote access manager may be further configured to transmit data representing an operational status of the ambulatory medical device to the remote system. The operational status of the controller may result from performing the diagnostic test. The remote access manager may be further configured to send the data representing the operational status of the ambulatory medical device in real time or substantially in real time.
