Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/779,160, filed Mar. 3, 2006, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to containers and storage methods.
- Implantable medical devices (IMD) are commonly used to treat patients having abnormal or irregular cardiac rates or rhythms. A typical IMD is a pacemaker. A pacemaker is used to monitor a patient's heart rate, and is designed to increase the patient's heart rate with a series or pattern of electrical impulses if the patient's heart rate falls below a predetermined level. Another type of MD is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). An ICD monitors a patient's heart rate and is designed to slow a patient's heart rate with one or more electrical shocks if the patient's heart rate exceeds a predetermined level.
- When an IMD is implanted in a patient, a relatively large number of parameters are set to optimize performance of the IMD with respect to the patient. The parameter settings are typically provided to the patient on a Parameter Settings Report. A Parameter Settings Report may also include hemodynamic data for the patient. Example parameters and hemodynamic data can be found at U.S. Pat. No. 6,792,310 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,003,349 which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. Further parameters and hemodynamic data can be found at US Patent Application Publication No. US 2004/0220636 A1, which is also hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. After initial implantation, patients typically periodically visit their physicians to verify the operating condition and performance of their IMD. With each visit, parameter settings for the IMD may be modified and updated Parameter Settings Reports can be provided to the patients.
- In the event of a heart-related medical emergency involving a person having an IMD, the Parameter Settings Report for the IMD is a valuable tool for use in diagnosing and treating the patient. For this reason, a patient having an IMD is encouraged to have his or her Parameter Setting Reports readily accessible at all times. Frequently, the patients place the Parameter Settings Reports in their wallets or purses. This is problematic because the Parameter Settings Reports are difficult to locate and may become smeared, blurred or otherwise damaged thereby rendering the reports difficult to read.
- One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a container for storing a Parameter Settings Report corresponding to an IMD. In certain embodiments, the container is small enough to easily be kept in a patient's pocket. In certain embodiments, the container has a plastic construction that prevents the Parameter Settings Report held within the container from being bent, crushed or otherwise damaged. In still other embodiments, the container has a hinged or removable lid for allowing the Parameter Settings Report to be easily accessed within the container. In still further embodiments, the container can have exterior indicia for allowing a third party to readily recognize that important medical information is held within the container.
- Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for protecting a parameter settings report for an implanted medical device. A parameter settings report for an implanted medical device is received from a medical facility. The parameter settings report is folded into a compact size. A container is opened, wherein that container includes a base piece and a cover piece with the base piece including a plurality of side walls, an open top side defined by the plurality of sidewalls, and an internal storage volume. The folded parameter settings report is placed into the container and the container is closed.
- A variety of additional inventive aspects will be set forth in the description that follows. The inventive aspects can relate to individual features and to combinations of features. It is to be understood that both the forgoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the broad inventive concepts upon which the embodiments disclosed herein are based.
