<p>A system for monitoring and controlling power demands in devices with DC power supplies is disclosed. A device includes a control means responsive to a monitoring means. If the output voltage of the power source detected by the monitoring means falls below a first predetermined level, the power requirements of the device are reduced by the control means. If the output voltage level detected by the monitoring means falls further below a second predetermined level, the second level being lower than the first level, the control means shuts down the device. This approach has application to battery powered devices, particularly for medical applications such as cochlear implants.</p> |
