Patent ID: 7610083

Claim:
A method of handling multiple loop recording in an implantable device, the method comprising: (a) monitoring a first signal set including first waveform data, the first waveform data associated with a physiologic condition; (b) detecting a first event; (c) initiating a first loop recording, the first loop recording activated by the first event, the first loop recording storing at least a portion of the waveform data of the first signal set, the first loop recording including a pre-event time and a post-event time; (d) monitoring a second signal set including second waveform data; (e) detecting a second event; (f) determining if an overlap of data will occur between the first loop recording and a second loop recording associated with the second event; and (g) if based on the determination in (f) that an overlap of data will occur, determining whether to initiate the second loop recording, the determination further comprising: (i) determining if the second event occurs while recording the post-event time of the first loop recording: and if in (i) the second event occurs while recording the post-event time of the first loon recording, then (ii) completing the first loop recording and not initiating the second loop recording.
