Problems solved by technology

[0006] The desired miniaturization of known dual-chamber pacemakers is limited in this configuration
[0007] Furthermore, the cable electrodes are a weak point, since the necessary insulation can lead to a rejection reaction by the patient's body, and due to aging phenomena, in particular through mechanical friction or deformation, the cable electrodes need to be replaced after certain time intervals

Embodiment Construction

[0119] figure 1 A schematic structure of a pacemaker network A according to the invention is shown. The pacemaker network A contains a large number of electronic pacemaker units. In the pacemaker network A according to the invention, at least one of the pacemaker units acts as a master and the remaining pacemaker units act as slaves, the behavior of which depends on the behavior of the master / masters.

[0120] In this preferred embodiment, the pacemaker network A comprises a pacemaker unit 1 acting as a master and a single pacemaker unit 1 ′ acting as a slave.

[0121] In this preferred embodiment, the pacemaker network A functions as a dual-chamber pacemaker, which is intended to be fully implanted in the human body.

[0122] The pacemaker unit 1 acting as master is preferably located in the inner cavity of the atrium of the human heart or outside it, and is anchored there via the electrode section 2 in the wall section of the human heart (first body part) . In contrast, ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wireless pacemaker network for implantation into a living body and for controlling a physical function. The pacemaker network has an electronic pacemaker unit (1) acting asa host in the pacemaker network, and comprising an electrode section (2) which is secured to a first body part according to the provision, and an electronic device; and an electronic pacemaker unit (1') acting as a slave in the pacemaker network and comprising an electrode section (2') fixed to the second body part according to the provision and an electronic device which is connected to the electrode section, is designed to generate a pulse, in particular a voltage pulse, and to emit the pulse via the electrode section to the second body part, wherein the pacemaker unit (1) acting as the host and the pacemaker unit (1 ') acting as the slave wirelessly interact to control the physical function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a network of wireless pacemakers for implantation into a biological body and for controlling body functions. Background technique [0002] Pacemakers are well known in the prior art and are used in the context of a large number of different medical indications. [0003] For example, pacemakers are used as so-called dual-chamber pacemakers (or dual-chamber pacemakers, ie Zweikammer-Herzschrittmacher) in the context of human heart disease. [0004] The basic components of this dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker are: cable electrodes (or called cable electrodes, namely Kabelelektroden) fixed at the casing, and the cable electrodes are connected to different chambers of the patient's diseased heart; and electronics housed in the housing, which monitor the function of the chambers via the electrodes and which can send stimulation pulses to these chambers when a faulty function is determined. All the mentioned components are in...
