ABSTRACT:
An implantable multi-function medical device, having a first therapy assembly that has a small current requirement and a second therapy assembly that has a large current requirement. The device further has a first battery component that is adapted to a consumer having a low current requirement, and a second battery component that is adapted to a consumer having a large current requirement, and a switching device which connects the second battery component only to the second therapy assembly until a control signal is emitted, which indicates that a predetermined voltage level of the first battery component has not been met, or that an internal resistance has been exceeded, but, as of this time, the switching device connects the second battery component to the first therapy assembly.
