Abstract
A displayable interactive screen implemented to display the charging status of a capacitor in an implantable medical device. The display includes real time representation of voltage from start to target, tracking of elapsed time, status of charging circuit and a progress bar. The charging system may be terminated by a cancel button which remains active from the start to the end of the charging cycle. The displayable screen is a programmer or a PC in data communication with the programmer.
Claims12
A software system in cooperation with a medical device microprocessor and circuitry to provide dynamic, real time display of capacitor and energy status, the software system comprising:
- a graphical user interface indicating a plurality of status parameters;
- means for initiating access to said plurality of status parameters;
- and
- means for manifesting said dynamic, real time display of the status.
A software system implemented in conjunction with a microprocessor circuitry of a medical device, the software system comprising:
- means for displaying a plurality of capacitor status parameters;
- means for tracking voltage/energy level at anytime during charging;
- and
- means for canceling a display at anytime during said charging.
A capacitor charging display, displayable on a screen, the display comprising:
- means for displaying capacitor charging status;
- means for displaying starting voltage/energy;
- means for displaying target voltage/energy;
- means for displaying elapsed time;
- means for displaying charging circuit condition;
- means for canceling charging operations;
- and
- means for displaying the charging progress based on voltage/energy.
