The system receives three sets of inputs: program class definitions, a set of rules, and additional class definitions to be merged with the program class definitions. There are three types of rules: the first rule is used to substitute the allocation of an object of a new class for the allocation of the object based on an original class; the second rule is used to change code that allocates an object of an original class to code that calls a static method that allocates the object of the original class; and the third rule is used to a replace a new static field for an original static field. The system separately reads each of the original class definitions into a class data structure and performs the modifications to the class data structure according to the set of rules. The resulting class data structure is written to an output stream.

An MRI-compatible electronic medical therapy system is provided for temporarily preventing current flow through an implanted lead wire in the presence of an induced radio frequency, magnetic, or static field. One or more normally closed switches are disposed in series between the AIMD and the one or more distal electrodes. The switch may be incorporated in the AIMD, lead wire, or within or adjacent to the electrode. The switch remains closed during normal AIMD-related therapy, but temporarily opens in the presence of an induced radio frequency, magnetic, or static field so as to prevent current flow through the electrode and lead wire. The switches prevent current from circulating that could be induced by a medical therapeutic diagnostic device, which can cause overheating of lead wires, excessive currents or temperatures and tissue damage.
