Embodiment Construction

[0048] The contents of US Patent No. 6,901,293 to Rogers et al., Systems and Methods for Monitoring Power Supply Life of Implantable Therapeutic Devices are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0049] figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of an implantable medical device 10 containing circuitry 12, which typically performs control and therapeutic functions. Therapy delivery may be: electrical stimulation, e.g., cardiac stimulators such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or combination devices, drug delivery devices, e.g., drug pumps, or other implantable medical devices with electrically powered circuitry 12 equipment. An energy source (eg, battery 14 ) powers circuitry 12 for device operation and therapy delivery, if appropriate. Implantable medical device 10 may communicate with the outside world while implanted using telemetry unit 16 , which is also powered by battery 14 . The general construction and general operation of circuitry 12, battery 14, and tele...

Abstract

Displaying remaining longevity of energy source of implantable medical device having a longevity characterized by a depth of discharge representative of a first stage of discharge, e.g., beginning of service, a second stage of discharge, e.g., recommended replacement time, and a third stage of discharge, e.g., end of service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to power supply monitors, and more particularly, to power supply monitors for implantable medical devices having an energy source that has a gradually decreasing voltage over its useful life. Background technique [0002] The medical device industry produces a wide variety of electronic and mechanical devices used to treat medical conditions in patients. Depending on the medical condition, the medical device may be surgically implanted or externally attached to the patient being treated. Clinicians use medical devices alone or in combination with therapeutic substance therapy and surgery to treat patient medical conditions. For some medical conditions, medical devices provide the best, and sometimes the only treatment to restore the individual to a healthier condition and a more fulfilling life. [0003] One type of medical device is an implantable therapeutic substance infusion device. The implantable therape...
