DISPOSITIFS MÉDICAUX IMPLANTABLES POUR ENTRÉE AUTOMATIQUE DANS UN MODE DE FONCTIONNEMENT À EXPOSITION LORS DE L'EXPOSITION À UNE PERTURBATION MAGNÉTIQUE

摘要

Implantable medical devices automatically switch from a normal mode of operation to an exposure mode of operation and back to the normal mode of operation. The implantable medical devices may utilize hysteresis timers in order to determine if entry and/or exit criteria for the exposure mode are met. The implantable medical devices may utilize additional considerations for entry to the exposure mode such as a confirmation counter or a moving buffer of sensor values. The implantable medical devices may utilize additional considerations for exiting the exposure mode of operation and returning to the normal mode, such as total time in the exposure mode, patient position, and high voltage source charge time in the case of devices with defibrillation capabilities.
