Abstract
This document describes systems, devices, and methods for programmably adjusting therapy or other operative parameter values of an implantable cardiac rhythm management device using a programmer that includes a display that graphically illustrates one or more relationship between a parameter being programmed and other parameters and/or rules governing interactions between parameters.
Claims29
A system comprising:
- a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface configured to interactively display, during a programming of at least one of the parameters:
- a graphical indication of a changing value of at least one of the parameters as at least one of the parameters is being programmed;
- and
- a graphical indication of a rule constraining the value of the at least one of the parameters being programmed.

A system comprising:
- a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface interactively displaying, during a programming of at least one parameter, at least one graphical bar graph indication of a changing time interval value of the at least one parameter as it is being programmed together with a corresponding graphical indication of every rule constraining the value of the at least one parameter being programmed.
A method of programming an implantable cardiac rhythm management device, the method comprising:
- providing to a user a graphical indication of a value of a first parameter being programmed by the user, the graphical indication being modifiable by the user to program the value of the first parameter;
- and
- providing to the user a graphical indication of a rule constraining the value of the first parameter being programmed by the user.
A system comprising:
- a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface interactively displaying, during a programming of at least one parameter, a plurality of icons corresponding to respective binary-valued parameters governed by a rule limiting the number of the parameters that can concurrently be programmed to a particular binary-valued state.
A method comprising:
- displaying to a user, in visual correspondence, icons corresponding to binary-valued parameters governed by a rule limiting the number of the parameters that can concurrently be programmed to a particular binary-valued state, each icon being selectable to program the parameter corresponding to that icon;
- and
- receiving from the user a selection of one of the icons to program the corresponding parameter to a particular binary-valued state.
A system comprising:
- a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface configured to interactively display, during a programming of at least one of the parameters:
- means for graphically changing value of at least one of the parameters as at least one of the parameters is being programmed;
- and
- a graphical indication of a rule constraining the value of the at least one of the parameters being programmed.
