Abstract:
A method, system and external instrument are provided. The method initiates a communication link between an external instrument (EI) and an implantable medical device (MD), established a first connection interval for conveying data packets between the EI and IMD and monitors a connection criteria that includes at least one of a data throughput requirement. A battery indicator or link condition of the communications link is between the IMD and EI. The method further changes from the first connection interval to a second connection interval based on the connection criteria.

Claim (Index 7):
An external instrument (EI) for establishing a bi-directional communication link with an implantable medical device (IMD) having a sensing circuit to collect sensed data, the IMD includes a radio frequency (RF) circuit and a memory, the EI comprising:\n an RF circuit; memory storing program instructions; one or more processors electrically coupled to the RF circuit, the one or more processors, when executing the program instructions, to; initiate a communication link between the EI and the IMD; establish a first connection interval for conveying data packets between the EI and IMD; monitor a connection criteria that includes at least one of a data throughput requirement, a battery indicator or link condition of the communications link between the IMD and EI; and change from the first connection interval to a second connection interval based on the connection criteria.
