Abstract

A system and method for performing independent, off-line evaluation of event sensing for collected electrograms, comprising: sensing an electrogram using an implantable medical device (IMD); determining locations of heart beats on at least one channel of the electrogram using a multi-pass process, resulting in a group of multi-pass beat locations; storing the electrogram and device-identified beat locations in a memory location; and retrieving the electrogram and device-identified beat locations from the memory location. The multi-pass process determines locations of heart beats on at least a first channel of the electrogram. The device-identified group of beat locations are then compared to the multi-pass group of beat locations identified using the multi-pass method. Based on the comparing step, oversensing of beats, undersensing of beats, or noise from the device can be detected.
