Patent

CA 2515628

In general, the invention is directed to channel occupancy techniques for multi-channel medical device communication. More specifically, techniques are described for maintaining a communication session between an external device and an implantable medical device (IMD) to reduce the potential for conflict with other programmers. A device, such as an external device, includes a transmit module to transmit telemetry signals to an implantable medical device over a communication channel, and a control unit that communicates data to the implantable medical device via the transmit module. The control unit communicates idle messages over the communication channel during gaps within the data communication to the implantable medical device.

L'invention concerne de manière générale des techniques relatives à l'occupation de canaux qui sont utilisées pour permettre une communication multivoie avec des dispositifs médicaux. Cette invention concerne de manière plus spécifique des techniques permettant de maintenir une session de communication entre un dispositif externe et un dispositif médical implantable (IMD) pour réduire le risque de conflit avec d'autres programmeurs. Selon l'invention, un dispositif tel qu'un dispositif externe comprend un module de transmission servant à transmettre des signaux de télémétrie à un dispositif médical implantable par l'intermédiaire d'un canal de communication, ainsi qu'une unité de commande qui communique des données au dispositif médical implantable par l'intermédiaire du module de transmission. L'unité de commande communique des messages de repos par l'intermédiaire du canal de communication en l'absence d'une communication de données vers le dispositif médical implantable.
