ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided for reliably indicating that an implantable medical device is in need of replacement. The system and method measures the operational characteristics of the battery and the operational parameters of the implantable device itself. When these characteristics and parameters reach a defined level, the implantable medical device starts a replacement indicator timer. The replacement indicator timer starts and counts a replacement time period, with the replacement time period ending at a determined replacement date. The determined replacement date is the date at which the implantable medical device should be replaced.
