    摘要: An improved "VF immune" cardiac event detector for an implantable medical device consists of high-frequency and a low-frequency delta converters coupled to an intracardiac signal. The high-frequency delta converter is tuned to be responsive to R-waves and VF waveforms. However, the low-frequency delta converter is tuned to be responsive only to VF waveforms. By monitoring the difference between the outputs of the high-frequency and the low-frequency delta converters, the system can effectively discriminate between "true" R-waves and VF waveforms.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for controlling the stimulation of tissue. In one aspect, an apparatus includes an implantable stimulation device to elicit a response in a tissue by delivering one or more stimuli. The stimulation device includes a stimulus delivery element to deliver the one or more stimuli to elicit the response, a memory to store a range value identifying a range of values of a stimulation parameter relative to a first value, and a controller to control delivery of the stimuli by the stimulus delivery element in accordance with the range value. The stimulation parameter characterizes the stimuli to be delivered by the stimulation device.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for automatically adjusting the sense amplifier sensitivity based on the sensing threshold of the undesired signals (i.e., far-field signals or undesired near-field signals). Specifically, R-wave sensitivity is based on the peak amplitude of the T-waves. Since the relationship between R-waves and T-waves is so repeatable, high confidence is achieved in setting the sensitivity above the T-wave sensing threshold. For atrial sensing, P-wave sensitivity is based on the sensing threshold of R-waves and/or T-waves, whichever is larger. Several embodiments are disclosed for determining the threshold for sensing the undesired signals, such as, double sensing until single sensing occurs, or otherwise detecting the peak amplitude of two or more cardiac signals. Additional error checking may be employed, particularly for atrial sensitivity adjustment, to ensure proper detection of the sensing threshold for the undesired signals in patients with heart block: including analysis of the respective amplitude, cardiac signal duration, and time relationships to appropriately classify the cardiac signals.

    摘要: A Functional Electro Stimulation (FES) system provides physiologically based adjustment of stimulation parameters to achieve a high update rate for nerve and muscle stimulation at a reduced data transmission rate. FES systems generate electrical signals to stimulate nerves and muscles to provide movement for paraplegics and quadriplegics. Known FES systems comprise a multiplicity of microstimulators that are controlled by a single master controller. Control signals are transmitted over an RF link. A complete set of stimulation parameters comprising pulse amplitude, pulse width, and pulse frequency is initially transmitted to set initial stimulation parameters. Subsequent functional control of muscles is achieved by transmitting an increment to a single stimulation parameter. In a preferred embodiment the physiological behavior of the human body is copied by incrementing the pulse rate.

    摘要: An implantable cardiac device such as a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that stores a broad band electrogram signal in response to the detecting of a particular cardiac event. The system includes an external programmer which is capable of accessing the stored electrogram via a telemetry circuit so that the stored electrogram can be downloaded and reviewed on a display of the external programmer. The external programmer is also equipped with a digital filter emulator that is capable of emulating the filtering of the broad band electrogram signal that is being provided to the processor of the implanted cardiac device. The emulator therefore allows a treating physician to review an emulation of the waveform that the processor of the implanted cardiac device is seeing when the processor is initiating the delivery of therapeutic electrical stimulation to the heart.
