ABSTRACT:
A pacing system and method of programming the rate of said system is disclosed, wherein the pacemaker comprises circuitry for receiving a first group of simple on-off magnetic pulses which are accumulated and translated into the decades portion of the desired heartbeat rate (in bpm), and also for receiving a second group of pulses which are translated into the units count of the desired pacing rate in bpm. The circuitry provides that an initial portion of the programming signal is inspected relative to predetermined criteria, so that such initial portion acts also as an enabling key for accepting the overall programming signal. The doctor simply applies a simple hand held magnet t times according to the desired tens component of the programmed rate in bpm, maintains the magnet applied for at least a predetermined number of pacer intervals, and then applies the magnet u times corresponding to the units component of the desired heart rate, thereby programming the pacer to operate at tu bpm.
