  • Dialysis prescription optimization for decreased arrhythmias
    Patent number: 11395868
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining an estimated risk of arrhythmia during or after dialysis based on changes in serum potassium concentration of a patient and an amount of fluid removed from the patient during dialysis. The systems and methods allow for a determination of a risk that arrhythmia will occur due to the changes in potassium and fluid volume of a patient during dialysis, and for optimizing a dialysis prescription in order to minimize the risk of arrhythmia.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 14, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2022
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Amy Roettger, VenKatesh R. Manda, John Burnes, Rebecca Poindexter, Martin T. Gerber
  • Monitoring mode of an implantable medical device
    Patent number: 10743779
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a monitoring mode or treatment mode of an implantable medical device based on the detection of an external signal. The system and related method allow for more frequent monitoring of medical parameters at times where more frequent monitoring is necessary, such as during or after a dialysis session, with less frequent monitoring at other times, allowing for a more efficient medical device. The invention also allows for the frequency or mode of treatment by the implantable medical device, or the transmission of data from the implantable medical device to be controlled based on the external signal.
