.PDD File Extension

Image created with Adobe PhotoDeluxe, an entry level photo-editing software program that streamlined common editing tasks; replaced by Adobe Photoshop Elements in 2002, which is more similar to Adobe's flagship Photoshop program.

Stores patient session information created by the Medtronic CareLink programmer (such as the 2090 model); used to save data recorded by a Medtronic Chronicle Implantable Hemodynamic Monitor (IHM); often saved to a IBM-formatted 3.5" disk to store the data for future reference.

PDD files can be opened from the Chronicle software (i.e. Chronicle 9520B) by opening the "Select Model" screen and selecting Devices→Other. Then choose "Chronicle 9520B-Read From Disk" and follow the on-screen instructions.
