A device for reducing power consumption in medical, electrical equipment, implantable in the human body, comprising a sensor, consists of a sensor element (2) and sensor electronic circuitry (12), for sensing a parameter, relevant to control of the equipment's operation, in the equipment-wearing patient. A comparator (6) compares the sensor element's output signal to a predesignated threshold value and switches sensor electronic circuitry (12) from a passive mode with low power consumption to an active mode with heavier power consumption or vice-versa, depending on the magnitude of the sensor element's signal in relation to the threshold value. <IMAGE> |
