Latest Patents
Timothy Lacroix holds a patent for a "Trigger enhanced electrogram display for positioning an implantable." This invention relates to a graphical display method and apparatus that represents an electrogram signal received from at least one lead used in conjunction with an implantable medical device. The invention provides a time-expanded waveform of a portion of a signal relating to a single heartbeat. Additionally, sensitivity threshold information is graphically displayed on the waveform. The programmer assembly includes an analyzer for locating and marking desired characteristics of an electrogram signal received from at least one lead position within a passageway of a heart. The analyzer produces a marked electrogram signal, which is then processed to display information representing a portion of the electrogram signal adjacent to the marked desired characteristics. This displayed waveform allows users to quickly and confidently analyze a specific waveform to determine whether a lead is properly positioned prior to the attachment of the implantable medical device.
