Abstract
In some examples, determining an estimated remaining longevity of a power source of an implantable medical device comprises determining values of one or more parameters of the power source and one or more operational parameters of the implantable medical device; calculating, based on at least some of the determined parameter values, a first estimated duration until one of the determined parameters of the power source reaches a pre-recommended replacement time (pre-RRT) threshold and adding a timer duration to determine a first estimated longevity value; calculating, based on at least some of the determined parameter values, a second estimated duration until one of the determined parameters of the power source reaches a recommended replacement time (RRT) backup threshold as a second estimated longevity value; determining the estimated remaining longevity based on the two estimated longevity values; and indicating the determined estimated remaining longevity.
