Estimating the term…
Tools and devices are provided for determining whether a patient is well suited to receiving an implantable cardiac stimulation device by analyzing cardiac signals captured using external or cutaneous electrodes. Some of the illustrative tools include shapes for visual comparison to printed ECG strips. Kits for use of illustrative tools are also shown. Automatic devices are also disclosed which perform at least some analytical functions electronically for a user. In an example, a printed ECG strip is visually compared to a shape in order to ensure a patient is well suited to receiving a cardiac stimulation device having a particular implant location and/or cardiac signal analysis method implementation.
A patient screening tool for screening patients for receiving a particularly configured implantable cardiac stimulus device (ICSD), the particularly configured ICSD having a dynamic input range for sensing a range of voltages from a minimum voltage to a maximum voltage, the patient screening tool comprising a sheet of material having a stencil including a plurality of individual shapes visible on the transparent sheet, wherein the screening tool is sized such that comparisons may be made to printed ECG data captured from a prospective recipient of the particularly configured ICSD within predetermined printing guidelines including amplitude gain and printing sweep speed.
A kit for use in pre-operative patient screening for an implantable cardiac stimulus device (ICSD) comprising:
A patient screening tool for use in determining whether a patient is well suited to receiving a implantable cardiac stimulus device (ICSD) of a first configuration comprising first visible indicia tailored for identifying individuals well suited to receiving the ICSD of a first configuration, the first visible indicia shaped and presented to allow comparison to printed ECG signals from the patient to determine whether the printed ECG signals meet screening criteria represented by the patient screening tool.
