Extracorporal control device for an implantable medical device

Abstract

Abstract An extracorporeal controller (14) for a medical implant such as a pacemaker has a telemetric receiver (9) taking signals from a sender (6) in the pacemaker. This is dependent on the input signal it obtains from first and second signal processes (1,2) which monitor and determine the pacemaker's behaviour. After the receiver in the outside controller circuit is a third transmission on link (10) comprising a digital filter (13). This compensates for signal influences and returns an unadulterated signal to the ECG or permits an external simulation of the pacemaker's behaviour under the influence of the second signal processor. Thus it provides more accurate monitoring and control.
