ABSTRACT:
A system within an implantable stimulation device and a method for limiting the extent to which any high power consumption modes, such as a rate response mode, can be utilized during low battery periods. A battery threshold detector is utilized to detect when the battery is below a predetermined threshold. The implantable stimulation device then switches from a high current drain mode of operation to progressively lower current drain modes of operation. This configuration allows a significant reduction in current drain at RRT and further prevents the output amplitude from dropping below the capture level and prevents the remaining battery capacity from being rapidly used up.
