LEADLESS PACEMAKER WITH END-OF-LIFE PROTECTION

摘要

An implantable medical device includes operational circuitry and a power source configured to deliver energy to the operational circuitry. The operational circuitry includes, for example, a therapy circuit. The implantable medical device also includes a deactivation element configured to disable the therapy circuit. The implantable medical device also includes a power manager configured to detect an end-of-life condition of the power source and, in response to detecting the end-of-life condition, to cause the deactivation element to disable the therapy circuit.
