ABSTRACT:
A programming system is provided in which a control program for an implantable medical device is constructed from program modules that are selected by a physician. Only the selected modules are loaded into the memory of the implantable medical device, each one of which provides the control functions necessary to provide a different therapy or diagnostic function. Because a physician typically does not need to elect all of the available therapies or diagnostic routines, the resulting control program may be smaller than a general purpose program designed to implement all of the possible treatments to a patient. Further, a greater selection of therapies and diagnostic routines may be provided, without necessitating an increase in the memory capacity of the implantable medical device.
