Abstract
A system including a programmable implantable monitoring device and a programmer for programming the device and a method of use thereof. The programmer may be configured to transmit programming commands responsive to entry of a reason for monitoring to the implantable device including a prioritization of an arrhythmia storage criterion. The implantable may be configured to thereafter store and/or transmit records of the arrhythmia according to the prioritization. The programmer may be configured to transmit the patient's age to the implantable device and the implantable may be configured to thereafter apply arrhythmia detection criteria based upon the patient's age.
