Abstract
A method for monitoring an infection in proximity to an implantable medical device includes monitoring an indicator of infection in proximity to an implanted medical device; determining whether the indicator crosses a first threshold indicative of infection for a first period of time; and issuing a first alert if the indicator crosses the first threshold for the first period of time. The method further includes determining whether the indicator crosses a second threshold indicative of infection for a second period of time. A value associated with the second threshold is less indicative of an infection than a comparable value associated with the first threshold. The second period of time is greater than the first period of time. The method further includes issuing a second alert if the indicator crosses the second threshold for the second period of time. The first and second alert may be the same or different.
