Abstract: The present invention changes the magnet-mode of an active implantable medical device (AIMD) such that repeated application of a clinical magnet in a predetermined and deliberate time sequence will induce the AIMD to enter into its designed magnet-mode. In one embodiment, a clinical magnet is applied close to and over the AIMD and removed a specified number of times within a specified timing sequence. In another embodiment, the clinical magnet is applied close to and over the AIMD and flipped a specified number of times within a specified timing sequence. This makes it highly unlikely that the magnet in a portable electronic device, children's toy, and the like can inadvertently and dangerously induce AIMD magnet-mode.

Abstract: The present invention changes the magnet-mode of an active implantable medical device (AIMD) using a static strip magnet comprising at least a first, second and third magnet. The electronic circuits of the AIMD have been programmed to register when the static strip magnet has been swiped across the AIMD so that when the magnetic field-detection sensor detects a defined north and south polarity sequence of the first, second and third magnets, the electronic circuits have been programmed to enter into magnet-mode with electrical stimulation therapy of the body tissue and/or electrical sensing of biological signals from the body tissue being suspended, maintained in a preset mode, or placed in a programmed mode.
