ABSTRACT:
A system for use in implanting an implantable cardiac device includes an external device operable to emulate the operation of the implantable cardiac device in accordance with a set of modality and operating parameters. An external programmer includes a transmitter for transmitting the set of operating and modality parameters and the external device includes a receiver for receiving the set of operating parameters transmitted by the external programmer. A memory within the external programmer stores the transmitted set of operating parameters and retransmits the set of operating parameters to the implantable cardiac device after it is implanted. The external programmer and external device each include a telemetry antenna. The external programmer and external device are arranged for aligning the telemetry antennas when the external programmer and external device are being used together. The external programmer further includes a control panel arrangement which enables convenient control panel positioning by an implanting physician.
