Abstract
An ambulatory medical device comprises: a sensing component to be disposed on a patient for detecting a physiological signal of the patient; and monitoring and self-test circuitry configured for defecting a triggering event and initiating one or more self-tests based on detection of the triggering event. The ambulatory medical device senses the physiological signal of the patient substantially continuously over an extended period of time.
Claims19
An ambulatory medical device comprising:
- sensing circuitry configured to be coupled to a patient for detecting a physiological signal of the patient substantially continuously over an extended period of time;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine a plurality of occurrences of at least one event that affects operation of the ambulatory medical device,
- in response to determining the plurality of occurrences of the at least one event,
- initiate one or more self-tests comprising at least one self-test of a component of the ambulatory medical device associated with the plurality of occurrences of the at least one event, and
- store a set of results of the one or more self-tests,
- determine, based on the set of results, whether the plurality of occurrences of the at least one event comprises a critical error of the component of the ambulatory medical device, and
- at least one of provide a notification of the critical error to the patient and transmit the set of results to a remote server for storage and analysis.
