ABSTRACT:
Process of control of an implantable active medical device. The device is under the responsive control of (enslavement to) a sensed physiological parameter. A representative magnitude of the physiological parameter is measured in the presence of a useful signal to determine a value of the parameter. Then, in the absence of the useful signal, another measure is made to determine the noise. The noise is compared to a threshold corresponding to an unacceptable level of noise. In case of crossing the noise threshold, this crossing is taken in account by a control device with a view to possible suspension of a function of the device if there is too much noise.
