Abstract

See full text

An implantable cardiac stimulation system operates in one of at least two modes, a normal mode and a reset mode, wherein the control parameters for the reset mode are programmable. In the event of an error in operation, the implantable system switches from the normal mode to the reset mode. The programmability of the parameter values of the reset mode allows a physician to customize the operation of the pacemaker in the reset mode to meet the particular therapeutic needs of a patient in the event of an error in operation. In a preferred embodiment, the parameter values for the normal mode of operation are stored in a volatile memory unit, whereas the parameter values for the reset mode of operation are stored in a non-volatile memory unit.
