Neurostimulation system with default MRI-mode

摘要

A neurostimulation device capable of being placed between a stimulation state and an EMI protection state. The neurostimulation device comprises a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being respectively coupled to a plurality of stimulation electrodes, stimulation output circuitry configured for being selectively activated during the stimulation state to output a plurality of stimulation pulses to the plurality of electrical terminals, electromagnetic protection circuitry configured for being selectively activated during the EMI protection state to prevent at least a portion of the electrical current induced on at least one of the electrical terminals by an electromagnetic field entering the stimulation output circuitry, and a controller configured for automatically defaulting the neurostimulation device to the EMI protection state.
