Embodiments described herein include an analyte monitoring device. The analyte monitoring device generates sensor data indicative of an analyte level measured by an analyte sensor transcutaneously positioned in contact with a bodily fluid of the subject. The analyte monitoring device initializes a communication module using an advertisement scanning related instruction set, wherein the advertisement scanning related instruction set is a subset of a communications protocol startup instruction set including the advertisement scanning related instruction set and a non-advertisement scanning related instruction set. The analyte monitoring device issues one or more advertising packets and receives a connection request from a receiving device. The analyte monitoring device completes initialization of the communication module using the non-advertisement scanning related instruction set. The analyte monitoring device selects a subset of the sensor data, prepares a data packet comprising the subset of the sensor data, and transmits the data packet to the receiving device.

The present invention provides a device and methods of use related to the use of electrodes to continuously detect the presence and abundance of various biochemical compounds of interest with high spatial and temporal resolution, comprising the steps of inserting one or more electrodes in one or more locations selected from the group consisting of a tissue, an organ, a neural structure, a lymphatic vessel, a lymphatic node, an extravascular fluid compartment, and a peripheral blood vessel; applying a voltage scan to the electrode; an detecting a current indicative of the presence and abundance of the compound.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for determining a precise localization of an arrhythmia origin or exit site in a heart of a subject using internal electrocardiograph (ECG) signals sensed and stored by an implantable device implanted in the subject. One example method of analyzing an arrhythmia in a subject generally includes reading, from an implantable device implanted in the subject, a plurality of internal ECG signals sensed and stored by the implantable device while the subject was experiencing an arrhythmia event (e.g., at any time, including while the subject was ambulatory); performing an analysis of the read internal ECG signals; and determining a localization of the arrhythmia associated with the arrhythmia event, based on the analysis.

The invention relates to a catheter useful in recording His electrogram alternans. The catheter includes a catheter probe containing at least one row of receiving poles positioned at an edge of the catheter probe, equidistantly spaced from each other.

An implantable sensor device includes a sensor-support substrate, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor device mounted to the sensor-support substrate, a transduction medium applied over the pressure sensor device, and a biocompatibility layer applied over the transduction medium

Computer implemented methods and systems are provided that comprise, under control of one or more processors of a medical device, where the one or more processors are configured with specific executable instructions. The methods and systems include sensing circuitry configured to define a sensing channel to collect biological signals, memory configured to store program instructions, a processor configured to implement the program instructions to at least one of analyze the biological signals, manage storage of the biological signals or deliver a therapy, and communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other implantable or external device, the communication circuitry configured to transition between a sleep state, a partial awake state and a fully awake state. When in the fully awake state, the communication circuitry is configured to execute tasks and actions associated with a communications protocol startup (CPS) instruction set that includes an advertisement scanning related (ASR) instruction subset and a non-ASR instruction subset. When in the partially awake state, the communication circuitry is configured to execute, as the ASR instruction subset, transmit advertising notices over one or more channels according to a wireless communications protocol, scan the one or more channels for a connection request from an external device. When a connection request is not received, return to the sleep state, without performing actions or tasks associated with the non-ASR instruction subset of the CPA instruction set.

A medical display processing device and a method of reusing data includes acquiring, over time via electrodes, electrical signals each acquired via one of the electrodes and indicating electrical activity at a location of a portion of patient anatomy in a 3D space. Electrical signal data, corresponding to the electrical signals, is filtered according to first filter parameter settings and first mapping information is generated for displaying a map of the portion of patient anatomy and the filtered electrical signal data. An indication of a region of the portion of patient anatomy on the map is received and second mapping information is generated for displaying, at the region on the map, a portion of the electrical signal data previously filtered from display.

Techniques for triggering the storage or transmission of cardiac electrogram (EGM) signals associated with a premature ventricular contractions (PVC) include sensing a cardiac EGM signal of a patient via a plurality of electrodes, detecting a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) within the cardiac EGM signal, determining whether PVC storage criteria is met, in response to a determination that the PVC storage criteria is met, storing a portion of the cardiac EGM signal associated with the PVC, and in response to a determination that the PVC storage criteria is not met, eschewing storing the portion of the cardiac EGM signal associated with the PVC.

The present disclosure relates generally to pacing of cardiac tissue, and more particularly to adjusting delivery of His bundle or bundle branch pacing in a cardiac pacing system to achieve synchronized ventricular activation. A leadless pacing device (LPD) may include a plurality of electrodes comprising a bundle pacing electrode leadlessly connected to the housing, which may be implanted proximate to or in the His bundle or bundle branch of the patient's heart. An electrical pulse generator may generate and deliver electrical His-bundle or bundle-branch stimulation pulses using the bundle pacing electrode based on sensing one or both of an atrial event and a ventricular event. The LPD may receive communication from another implantable device, such as a subcutaneously implanted device, and deliver His-bundle or bundle-branch pacing in response to the communication.
