ABSTRACT:
A physiological device adapted for implantation in a human patient, e.g. a cardiac pacemaker or muscle stimulator, characterized by having programmable means for generating data and assembling same for presentation of one or more histograms. The implanted device has circuitry for registering the occurrence of sensed or evoked events, as well as device operating events such as cycles of operation, and means, preferably software control of a microprocessor, for classifying registered events into respective classes of one or more parameters associated with the events and for accumulating counts of events for each such class. The system also includes external apparatus for communicating programmed instructions to the device, whereby histogram selection and histogram classes are programmed, and for receiving the histogram data transmitted from the implanted device and displaying it in a convenient histogram form. Time based histograms are also generated, utilizing a software clock for continuously tracking time.
