Apparatus for testing the basic parameters of pacemaker

This paper describes a system design for testing implantable devices, namely pacemakers, that measures selected pacemaker parameters to indicate their proper functionality or potential malfunction. The resulting signals are interpreted and plotted using the programming interface of MATLAB. The efficiency of the resulting wiring is tested on real pacemakers and compared to the values of commercial programmers. The system is designed for easy and universal measurement of pacemaker parameters for learning purposes in the teaching process.
