Abstract

See full text

A portable programming apparatus for use with an implantable medical device is disclosed. The programming apparatus includes a housing, at least one auxiliary component, and a lip. The housing contains computer circuitry and defines a storage compartment. The auxiliary/y component is configured to assist with programming an implantable medical device, perform programming and data transmission functions in cooperation with a remote data center, and interfaces with the computer circuitry via an associated cable. The lip is configured to extend along at least a portion of a perimeter of the storage compartment. With this configuration, the lip selectively maintains the cable within the storage compartment thereby minimizing potential damage to the cable.
