Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a navigation and guidance sequence during configuration, input, and storage of programmable parameters for use in a medical device. One embodiment includes a cardiac rhythm management device as the medical device. The navigational sequence provides a series of interfaces on which parameter input fields are displayed. In one embodiment, the interfaces are graphical user interfaces. Each interface may include a plurality of different sets of parameter input fields with only one set being displayed at a time.
