Abstract
Aspects herein include an implantable medical device, such as an implantable cardiac rhythm management device. The implantable medical device can include a housing, control circuitry disposed within the housing, and telemetry circuitry in electrical communication with the control circuitry. The control circuitry can be configured to execute a post-procedural system check procedure after the expiration of a preselected first time period. The first time period can be greater than or equal to 0.5 hours and less than or equal to 48 hours. In various aspects, the post-procedural system check procedure can include measuring diagnostic properties for one or more electrodes of an electrical stimulation lead attached to the implantable medical device. The first time period can begin to elapse after detection of a triggering event or a command by a system operator.
