  • Pacemaker with improved automatic output regulation
    Patent number: 4955376
    Abstract: A pacemaker which is provided with an improved automatic regulation circuit which is capable of distinguishing between a fusion beat and loss of capture. The failure to sense an evoked potential following a stimulus may be due to either. The cause is determined by generating a high-energy back-up pulse shortly after the stimulus. Failure to capture by the back-up pulse is an indication that there was just a fusion beat; the sensing of an evoked potential is an indication that the stimulus failed to capture.

  • Removable sleeve adaptor for electrode leads
    Patent number: 4740170
    Abstract: A removable adaptor sleeve for connecting an electrode lead having a low profile plug to a pulse generator having a high profile socket. The adaptor sleeve fits over the plug end of the electrode lead so as to provide a high profile plug configuration. The sleeve has a side wall which includes axial grooves terminating at the apex of corresponding V-shaped notches. The notches and axial grooves allow the adaptor sleeve to be torn away so as to expose for use the low profile plug end of the electrode lead, as desired.
