Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to an implantable pulse stimulation system with a magnet mode. Background Technology

[0002] Implantable cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, CRT-P devices, and other implantable pulse stimulation devices can operate long-term within the body. After implantation, these devices deliver pulse stimulation according to pre-set parameters, providing treatment or life support. Doctors can view and set the patient's operating parameters and device parameters via a programmer. Traditional programmers are bulky, inconvenient to carry, and expensive, often unavailable in remote hospitals or emergency situations.

[0003] To enable rapid monitoring and even intervention of the operating status and parameters of implanted devices without the need for a programmer, implantable devices offer a magnet mode for medical personnel to perform magnet tests. The implantable device contains a magnetic switch; placing a magnet on the skin surface of the device closes this internal switch, causing most implanted devices to switch from a synchronous to an asynchronous state. In this state, the device no longer senses its own electrical activity but instead delivers pacing pulses at a fixed frequency—the magnet frequency. Magnet tests can be used for: ① assessing pacing function; ② determining whether a pacemaker is a single-chamber or dual-chamber pacemaker; ③ testing threshold safety ranges and determining if the pacemaker meets elective replacement criteria; ④ automatic threshold testing; ⑤ terminating pacemaker-mediated tachycardia; ⑥ terminating autoreentrant tachycardia; and ⑦ terminating the diagnosis and treatment of rapid arrhythmias.

[0004] During magnetic field testing, the implantable device operates in a basic asynchronous mode, following basic parameters. Some treatments and diagnostics are temporarily disabled. Once the implantable device is removed from the magnetic field, it exits the basic asynchronous mode and resumes operation according to the parameters set by the doctor via the programmer, restoring its treatment and diagnostic functions. If the implantable device operates in basic asynchronous mode for an extended period, it may endanger the patient's life due to the inability to provide the necessary treatment functions.

[0005] With the development of industrial technology, the probability of strong magnetic fields in the physical environment where patients are located is increasing. Examples include generators, charging stations, water flossers charged with magnetic chargers, and mobile phones containing magnetic fields. These magnetic fields in the physical environment may cause implantable devices to unexpectedly enter magnetic mode, resulting in temporary malfunction of the device's therapeutic function and threatening the patient's life.

[0006] To avoid the aforementioned risks, manufacturers typically use specialized equipment to permanently disable the magnet mode of implanted devices. This prevents the magnet mode from achieving its intended purpose, hindering its timely activation in emergency situations where it is needed, and preventing rapid assessment of the device's operational status and timely pacing intervention. Alternatively, patients may be advised not to approach or use such magnetic field devices, which would cause significant inconvenience in today's widely used modern industrial environment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above, the purpose of this invention is to provide an implantable pulse stimulation system with a magnet mode. Through a set magnetic field sensing and processing mechanism, the system can dynamically enable / disable the magnet mode of the implantable device, thereby improving the working quality of the implantable device and reducing the risks of accidentally entering the magnet mode and / or failing to respond to the magnet mode in a timely manner when needed.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the embodiments provide an implantable pulse stimulation system with a magnet pattern, comprising:

[0009] The invention includes an implantable device and a programmable controller that communicates with the implantable device, characterized in that the implantable device includes a pacing sensing module, a pacing sensing control module, a magnetic field sensing module, a magnetic field mode processing module, a timing processing module, an information recording module, and a first programmable communication module.

[0010] The magnetic field sensing module is used to sense external magnetic fields and send a trigger signal to the magnetic field mode processing module when a magnetic field is sensed or disappears.

[0011] The magnetic field mode processing module is used to control the timing processing module to perform timing based on the received trigger signal. It monitors the magnetic field detection trigger signal during the time period and at the end of the time period, and enables or disables the magnetic field mode according to the magnetic field situation during the time period and at the end of the time period, and sends the operation result to the pacing sensing control module.

[0012] The pacing sensing control module controls the working mode of the pacing sensing module based on the operation results.

[0013] The timing processing module is used for timing related to the monitoring of the presence and disappearance of the magnetic field;

[0014] The information recording module is used to record the enabling and disabling information of the magnetic field mode;

[0015] The first programmable communication module establishes communication with the programmable controller to realize data communication between the implantable device and the programmable controller.

[0016] The programmable controller is used to set the disable function for the magnetic field mode of the implantable device.

[0017] In one embodiment, the magnetic field mode processing module controls the timing processing module to time the presence of the magnetic field for a duration of t1 after sensing the trigger signal of the external magnetic field.

[0018] When the magnetic field exists continuously for a duration of t1, and the magnetic field mode processing module receives a trigger signal indicating that the external magnetic field has disappeared when the t1 timer ends, it controls the timing processing module to time the disappearance of the magnetic field for a duration of t2. When the magnetic field disappears continuously for a duration of t2, and the magnetic field sensing module senses the external magnetic field, it is recorded as a magnetic field existence-death event.

[0019] When the cumulative number of magnetic field storage-deletion events reaches a first preset threshold, the magnetic field mode processing module disables the magnetic field mode and records this disabling operation and the disabling time in the information recording module. Preferably, t1 is 5-20 seconds and t2 is 5-20 seconds.

[0020] In one embodiment, after the magnetic field mode processing module disables the magnetic field mode, the pacing sensing control module controls the pacing sensing module to operate at a pacing frequency higher than the magnet frequency for a duration t3, and then continues to operate according to the parameters set by the programmer.

[0021] In one embodiment, when the magnetic field mode of the implanted device is in a disabled state, the magnetic field mode processing module controls the timing processing module to count the presence of the magnetic field for a duration of t4 after sensing the trigger signal of the external magnetic field.

[0022] When the magnetic field exists continuously for a duration of t4, and the magnetic field mode processing module receives a trigger signal indicating that the external magnetic field has disappeared when the t4 timer ends, it controls the timing processing module to time the disappearance of the magnetic field for a duration of t5. When the magnetic field disappears continuously for a duration of t5, and the magnetic field sensing module senses the external magnetic field, the magnetic field mode processing module enables the magnetic field mode and records this magnetic field mode enabling operation and the enabling time in the information recording module.

[0023] In one embodiment, the operation from disabling to enabling the magnetic field mode is treated as a round of operation for disabling and enabling the magnetic field mode. When the cumulative number of rounds reaches a second preset threshold, the disabling and enabling function of the magnetic field mode is disabled, that is, the magnetic field mode is in a permanently disabled state and cannot be enabled by an external magnetic field.

[0024] In one embodiment, when the magnetic mode disable function of the implanted device is permanently disabled, based on the recorded information obtained from the information recording module, the programmable controller is used to set whether to enable the magnetic field mode disable function. The programmable controller sends an enable signal to the magnetic field mode processing module, and the magnetic field mode processing module enables the magnetic field mode disable function according to the enable signal, while simultaneously deleting the recorded information in the information recording module.

[0025] In one embodiment, the programmable controller is used to set whether to disable the magnetic field mode's disable function. The programmable controller sends a disable signal to the magnetic field mode processing module, and the magnetic field mode processing module disables the magnetic field mode's disable function according to the disable signal, so that the magnetic field mode's disable function is in the off state.

[0026] In one embodiment, the programmable controller includes a second programmable communication module and a programmable processing module;

[0027] The second programmable communication module establishes communication with the implantable device to realize data communication between the programmable controller and the implantable device;

[0028] The programmable processing module is used to set the disable function of the magnetic field mode of the implantable device and to set the parameters related to the pulse pacing event.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following:

[0030] In the implantable pulse stimulation system with a magnet mode provided in the embodiment, the magnet mode of the implantable device can be enabled by an external magnetic field, and the time matching of t4 and t5 can prevent accidental and rapid enablement; the magnet mode can also be disabled by an external magnetic field, and the time matching of t1 and t2 and the comparison of a first preset threshold can be used to confirm the operation to prevent accidental disablement; after the magnet mode is disabled, it operates at a special frequency for a period of time so that the user can confirm that the disablement was successful; after multiple consecutive magnet mode disable and enable operations, the function is permanently disabled to prevent patient abuse and accidental triggering; an interface is also provided for medical staff to turn it on and off to meet the actual needs of medical use. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a pulse stimulation system with a safe magnet mode provided in the embodiment;

[0033] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the magnet mode prohibition process provided in the embodiment;

[0034] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the magnet mode enable process provided in the embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and do not limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0036] To address the problem of implantable devices unexpectedly entering magnet mode due to external magnetic fields, leading to temporary malfunction and threatening patient safety, and to prevent the intended purpose of magnet mode from being achieved by permanently disabling it, this embodiment provides an implantable pulse stimulation system with a magnet mode. This system includes an implantable device with a magnetic field sensor or magnetic field switch. When the implantable device is near a magnetic field, if the magnet mode is enabled, the device will operate in magnet mode. When it leaves the magnetic field, the device exits magnet mode and operates according to programmed parameters and mode. The magnet mode in the implantable device is enabled by default at the factory.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a pulse stimulation system with a safe magnet mode provided in an embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the pulse stimulation system provided in the embodiment includes an implantable device 1 and a programmer 2. The implantable device 1 and the programmer 2 are communicatively connected. The implantable device 1 includes a pacing sensing module 7, a pacing sensing control module 6, a magnetic field sensing module 3, a magnetic field mode processing module 4, a timing processing module 5, an information recording module 9, and a first programmable communication module 8. The programmer includes a second programmable communication module 10 and a programmable processing module 11.

[0038] The magnetic field sensing module 3 senses external magnetic fields and sends trigger signals to the magnetic field mode processing module 4 when a magnetic field is sensed or disappears. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 controls the timing processing module 5 to perform timing based on the received trigger signals. It also monitors the magnetic field detection trigger signals during and at the end of the timing period and enables or disables the magnetic field mode based on the magnetic field conditions during and at the end of the timing period, and sends the operation results to the pacing sensing control module 6. The pacing sensing control module 6 controls the working mode of the pacing sensing module 7 based on the operation results. The timing processing module 5 monitors the presence and disappearance of the magnetic field. The information recording module 9 records the enabling and disabling information of the magnetic field mode. The first programmable communication module 8 establishes communication with the second programmable communication module 10 to realize data communication between the implanted device and the programmable controller. The programmable processing module 11 sets the disabling function of the magnetic field mode of the implanted device and sets the parameters related to the pulse pacing event.

[0039] The magnet mode of the implanted device can be dynamically controlled to be in a disabled state based on the external magnetic field conditions. Specifically, after the magnetic field mode processing module 4 senses the trigger signal of the external magnetic field, it controls the timing processing module 5 to time the presence of the magnetic field for a duration of t1. When the magnetic field is continuously present for a duration of t1, and the magnetic field mode processing module 4 receives the trigger signal of the disappearance of the external magnetic field at the end of t1, it controls the timing processing module 5 to time the disappearance of the magnetic field for a duration of t2. When the magnetic field disappears continuously for a duration of t2, and the magnetic field sensing module 3 senses the external magnetic field, it is recorded as a magnetic field storage-disappearance event. When the cumulative number of magnetic field storage-disappearance events reaches a first preset threshold, the magnetic field mode processing module disables the magnetic field mode and records this disabling operation and the disabling time in the information recording module 9. In this embodiment, the first preset threshold is 3-5 times, t1 is 5-20 seconds, and t2 is 5-20 seconds. This time range allows for sufficient time error to ensure the accuracy of the sensing.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the magnet mode disable processing provided in the embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, when the magnetic field mode of the implantable device 1 is enabled, when the implantable device 1 is brought close to an external magnetic field, the magnetic field sensing module 3 senses the external magnetic field. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 then controls the timing processing module 5 to set a timer for duration t1, starting the t1 timer. During t1, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 continuously senses the external magnetic field. When the external magnetic field disappears within t1, the count is reset to zero. When the t1 timer expires, the timing processing module 5 notifies the magnetic field mode processing module 4, which then controls the timing processing module 5 to clear the t1 timer. If the magnetic field sensing module 3 senses the external magnetic field when the t1 timer expires, the count is reset to zero. If the magnetic field sensing module 3 does not sense the external magnetic field, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 considers the external magnetic field to have disappeared and controls the timing processing module 5 to reset the count. 5. Implement a timer setting for duration t2. Start the timer for duration t2. During duration t2, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 continuously senses the external magnetic field. When an external magnetic field is sensed, the count is reset to zero. When the t2 timer expires, the timer processing module 5 notifies the magnetic field mode processing module 4. If the magnetic field sensing module 3 does not sense the external magnetic field again within t2, and senses the external magnetic field again at the end of t2, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 increments the count by 1. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 controls the timer processing module 5 to clear the t2 timer, recording the entire process as a magnetic field storage-deletion event. Repeat the magnetic field storage-deletion event multiple times until the accumulated number reaches a first preset threshold. Then, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 disables the magnet mode and records the disabling operation and the disabling time in the information recording module. In this embodiment, t1 can be 8 seconds, and t2 can be 8 seconds.

[0041] After the magnet-disabled mode is activated, the pacing sensing control module 6 controls the pacing sensing module 5 to operate at a pacing frequency LRL higher than the magnet frequency, with other operating parameters remaining the same as in the magnet mode, delivering pulse stimulation for a duration of t3. In this embodiment, LRL is the magnet frequency + αppm (pulse per minute), where α is 10–30ppm, preferably 20, and t3 is 10s. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 controls the timing processing module 5 to set and clear the t3 timer. After the t3 timer expires, the implantable device 1 returns to operation using the parameters set by the medical staff via the programmer 2.

[0042] After the magnet mode is disabled, the magnet mode of the implantable device can be dynamically enabled by the external magnetic field. Specifically, when the magnetic field mode of the implantable device is disabled, the magnetic field mode processing module 4, based on the trigger signal of the external magnetic field, controls the timing processing module 5 to time the presence of the magnetic field for a duration of t4. When the magnetic field is continuously present for a duration of t4, and the timing of t4 ends, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 receives the trigger signal of the disappearance of the external magnetic field, and controls the timing processing module 5 to time the disappearance of the magnetic field for a duration of t5. When the magnetic field is continuously absent for a duration of t5, and the magnetic field sensing module 3 senses the external magnetic field, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 enables the magnetic field mode and records this magnetic field mode enabling operation and the enabling time in the information recording module 9. In this embodiment, a certain ratio is maintained between t4 and t5, which is (1.3-2.3):1, for example 2:1, to prevent the magnet mode from being accidentally triggered due to interference. The time of t4 is selected between 3 and 8 seconds, which should not be too long or too short to prevent misjudgment. The magnet mode can also be enabled at a relatively fast speed to enable rapid viewing of the pacemaker status and rapid intervention in the pacing status.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the magnet mode enable process provided in the embodiment. Figure 3As shown, when the magnetic field mode of the implantable device 1 is in the disabled state, when the implantable device 1 is brought close to an external magnetic field, the magnetic field sensing module 3 senses the external magnetic field. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 then controls the timing processing module 5 to set a timer for duration t4, initiating the t4 timer. During t4, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 continuously senses the external magnetic field. When the external magnetic field disappears, it returns to the disabled magnetic field mode. When the t4 timer expires, the timing processing module 5 notifies the magnetic field mode processing module 4, which then controls the timing processing module 5 to clear the t4 timer. If the magnetic field sensing module 3 does not sense the external magnetic field when the t4 timer expires, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 considers the external magnetic field to have disappeared and controls the timing processing module 5 to set a timer for duration t5. A timer for duration t5 is initiated. During t5, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 continuously senses the external magnetic field. When an external magnetic field is sensed, it returns to the magnet mode disabled state. When the t5 timer expires, the timing processing module 5 notifies the magnetic field mode processing module 4. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 then controls the timing processing module 5 to clear the t5 timer. If the magnetic field sensing module 3 does not sense a magnetic field again within t5, and senses an external magnetic field at the end of the t5 timer, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 enables the magnet mode. At this time, the implanted device 1 operates in magnet mode and controls the pacing sensing module 7 to deliver pulse stimulation according to the pacing sensing parameters set in magnet mode. Simultaneously, the magnetic field mode processing module 4 records this magnetic field mode enabling operation and the enabling time in the information recording module 9. In this embodiment, t4 is preferably 6 seconds, and t5 is preferably 3 seconds.

[0044] In this embodiment, the process of turning the magnetic field mode from a prohibition operation to an enable operation is considered as one round of operation for the magnetic field mode's prohibition and enable function. When the cumulative number of rounds reaches a second preset threshold, the magnetic field mode's prohibition and enable function is prohibited, meaning the magnetic field mode is in a permanently prohibited state and cannot be enabled by an external magnetic field.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the implantable device 1 and the programmable controller 2 are connected via a first programmable communication module 8 and a second programmable communication module 10. The programmable controller 2 reads the recorded information from the information recording module 9 of the implantable device 1 through the second programmable module 10. According to the recorded information, when the magnet mode disable function of the implantable device is permanently disabled, the user will be prompted whether to enable the function. The user sets whether to enable the magnet mode disable function through the programmable controller 2. When the start is selected, the programmable controller 3 sends an enable signal to the magnet mode processing module 4. The magnet mode processing module 4 enables the magnet mode disable function according to the enable signal and simultaneously deletes the recorded information in the information recording module 9. In this way, the magnet mode disable function is enabled again.

[0046] In this embodiment, the user can also set whether to disable the magnetic field mode's disable function through the programmable controller 2. When the user selects to disable, the programmable controller 2 sends a disable signal to the magnetic field mode processing module 4. The magnetic field mode processing module 4 disables the magnetic field mode's disable function according to the disable signal, so that the magnetic field mode's disable function is in the disabled state.

[0047] In practical applications, the implantable pulse stimulation system with magnet mode provided in the above embodiments allows users to disable the magnet mode using a magnet, under the remote guidance of manufacturer personnel or doctors, or according to the instruction manual, depending on their physical environment and daily needs. After disabling the magnet mode, users can determine whether it has been successfully disabled based on the pulse delivery frequency. In emergency situations where the programmable controller cannot be used, medical personnel can manually or remotely guide users to reactivate the magnet mode, enabling rapid monitoring of the implanted device's status and quick intervention in pacing. Once the magnet mode is activated, the implanted device operates according to the magnet mode parameters, and successful activation can be determined based on the pulse delivery frequency after activation.

[0048] The specific embodiments described above illustrate the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, additions, and equivalent substitutions made within the scope of the principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
