ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for performing a device component failure analysis in an implantable medical device using current consumption data. A current consumption signal relating to current consumption in an implantable medical device is generated. The current consumption signal is then processed. A defect of a component in the implantable medical device is assessed in response to the processing of the current consumption signal and appropriate action is taken, such as selecting alternate therapies, generating an alert signal, and turning off circuits corresponding to the assessed defect.
