The apparatus and method are utilized in controlling an implanted device, such as a cardiac pacer, by use of acoustic vibrations generated by a tuning fork. These vibrations are applied externally to the skin overlying the implanted device and are sensed by a transducer within the implanted device. The transducer generates an electrical signal of a frequency correlated to the tuning fork frequency. An amplifier and tuned filter are utilized to detect predetermined frequencies within the electrical signals produced by the transducer and to direct the processed signals to a programmable electronic device for control of the implanted device.
