Abstract
An implantable medical device (IMD) is provided that includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions. The program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to obtain an initial capacitor maintenance time interval for performing maintenance on a capacitor of the IMD, obtain characteristics of interest related to at least one of the capacitor or the patient, and adjust the initial capacitor maintenance time interval to a first adjusted capacitor maintenance time interval based on the characteristics of interest.
Claims20
An implantable medical device (IMD) comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to:
- obtain an initial capacitor maintenance time interval for performing maintenance on a capacitor of the IMD;
- obtain characteristics of interest related to at least one of the capacitor or the patient;
- and
- adjust the initial capacitor maintenance time interval to a first adjusted capacitor maintenance time interval based on the characteristics of interest.
A method for performing maintenance on a capacitor of an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising:
- obtaining and initial capacitor maintenance time interval for performing maintenance on a capacitor of the IMD;
- obtaining characteristics of interest related to at least one of the capacitor or the patient;
- and
- adjusting the initial capacitor maintenance time interval to a first adjusted capacitor maintenance time interval based on the characteristics of interest.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable code to:
- obtain an initial capacitor maintenance time interval for performing maintenance on a capacitor of an implantable medical device (IMD);
- obtain characteristics of interest related to at least one of the capacitor or the patient;
- and
- adjust the initial capacitor maintenance time interval to a first adjusted capacitor maintenance time interval based on the characteristics of interest.
