Latest Patents
Eric Olson holds a patent for a medical device designed for the automatic diagnosis of undersensing by timing. This invention provides a system and method applicable for use with dual chamber pacemakers to determine whether long atrial intervals are due to atrial undersensing or sick sinus syndrome. The determination of undersensing is based on an algorithm that statistically analyzes a long atrial interval in relation to the patient's prior atrial rate history. It compares a calculated statistical probability measure with an empirically determined undersense threshold factor. The pacemaker can respond to a determination of undersensing by correcting previously collected diagnostic data, adjusting one or more pacemaker operating parameters, and providing an annotated marker channel for indicating undersense events.
