Abstract: A patient device (PD) for wireless data communication with an implant. The PD can be at least in an unpaired state or a paired state. In the paired state the PD is paired to a specific implant specified by an implant's identification code (IIC). The IIC is stored in PD memory. Automatic pairing of the PD to a specific implant is performed upon receiving an incoming data packet containing an IIC when the PD is in its unpaired state with no valid IIC stored in memory. Thus, the PD is tentatively paired to an implant identified by the IIC contained in the incoming data packet by storing the IIC in the memory. Tentative pairing is cancelled if no further communication occurs within a predetermined period of time. A soft paired state is entered if further data communication does occur.

Abstract: A device (10) for processing electrocardiogram signals and marker signals includes an input interface (30) for receiving electrocardiogram signals and marker signals detected by an implantable medical device; an analyzer unit (32) connected to the input interface (30) for processing the electrocardiogram signals and marker signals, and an output interface (34) connected to the analyzer unit (32) for output of data representing an analytical report to a playback unit. The analyzer unit (32) is designed to analyze electrocardiogram signals and marker signals in combination, such that the analyzer unit (32) detects relevant particular features on the basis of predefined criteria; assigns a priority to a detected particular feature; and generates an analytical report containing at least a listing of the detected particular features.

Abstract: A rate-adaptive cardiac pacemaker has a detection unit 1, an event-determining unit 2, a stimulation control unit 3 and a stimulation unit 11, wherein the event-determining unit 2 is connected to the detection unit 1 and the stimulation control unit 3, and the stimulation unit 11 is connected to the stimulation control unit 3. The detection unit 1 detects ECG signals of a heart 100, and the event-determining unit 2, on the basis of the ECG signals detected by the detection unit 1 and signals emitted by the stimulation control unit 3, determines whether a detected event represents a spontaneous or a stimulated event (Ap, As; AES, Vp, Vs, VES).
