ABSTRACT:
A programmable pulse generator capable of operating in several atrial and ventricular pacing modes having atrial and ventricular sense amplifiers and output circuits, programmable memory and clock controlled digital timing circuits and a depletable power source. End-of-life sensing circuits detect first and second end-of-life depletion levels. Magnet activated end-of-life test circuitry responds to the presense of none, one or both of the end-of-life depletion level signals to alter the operating modes and pacing rates to indicate the orginally programmed mode and the level of depletion to an observer. Preferably, the pulse generator is operated in the asynchronous DOO or VOO modes and at non-programmed test rates to provide the indication.
