Abstract
A system and method for identifying and displaying safety alert advisories. The system of the present invention automatically performs a comparison of identification data with a safety alert advisory. The system stores identification data in a plurality of dedicated fields. Each of the dedicated fields contains information related to the patient. Upon the telemetric retrieval of the data by an external programmer, the external programmer automatically cross-correlates the data in the dedicated fields with the safety alert advisories. Upon identification of a match between the data and one of the safety alert advisories, the identified safety alert advisory is displayed to a medical practitioner. In addition, the system provides a dedicated memory to store an advisory flag. The advisory flag is marked when the programmer identifies a safety alert condition that is relevant to one of the dedicated fields. When a subsequent external programmer retrieves the data from the dedicated fields, the external programmer can notify the medical practitioner that a safety alert advisory exists even though the safety alert advisory was never directly input into the subsequent external programmer.
