    摘要: A circuit for determining lead impedance during the time a pacing or other stimulating electrical pulse is being delivered measures current and voltage simultaneously to check for open circuits or short circuits based on different thresholds. The detection of a bad lead can force a double pulse to be delivered in real time in a unipolar configuration. Switching from unipolar to bipolar configuration based on detecting a bad bipolar circuit can be supported.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for detection of non-physiologic senses checks the output of the sense amplifier of an implanted medical device where the inputs of the sense amplifier are adapted to connect to a living body for sensing electrical signals representative of physiologic events, and especially heart beats, and if that sense output senses a physiologic event within a predetermined time after a non-physiologic event is sensed by another circuit also connected to receive electrical signals from said living body, then there is reported out a signal indicating that the event sensed by the sense amplifier is of a non-physiologic nature. Various uses are accomplished with the information in these output signals.

    摘要: An implantable medical device (IMD) includes an electrode that forms a first snap-fit attachment area and an insulator that forms a through-hole, a second snap-fit attachment area and a third snap-fit attachment area. The second snap-fit attachment area mates with the first snap-fit attachment area of the electrode. The IMD further includes a body including an elongated conductive housing and a feedthrough wire extending therefrom. The body forms a fourth snap-fit attachment area on one end that mates with the third snap-fit attachment area of the insulator such that the feedthrough wire extends through the through-hole of the insulator. The housing encloses at least one of a battery, a sensor, and an electronic circuit. The insulator functions to electrically isolate the electrode from the housing of the body.
