ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac pacemaker having a housing containing pacing circuitry, a signal generator, and an electromagnetic transducer. The transducer has an electrical input line connected to the signal generator, and an electrical output line connected to the pacing circuitry. Consequently, a forcing motion on the transducer sends an electrical signal to the pacing circuitry, and operation of the signal generator causes the transducer to vibrate. The pacemaker may also include a disablement switch connected to the signal generator, with the signal generator operating in response to activation of the switch to cause the transducer to generate an audible warning tone while the pacemaker is disabled.
