Remote switching with latching to s&ted sites of variable-frequency card& packg. J. Appl. Physiol. 29(6) : 889-89 1. 1970.-A latchable, selectablesite, variable-frequency cardiac pacemarker has been developed which allows control of the heart rate in a trained, unanesthetized dog and permits the site of stimulation to be changed, i.e., from an atria1 to a ventricular site. This cardiac pacemaker, an improvement over earlier versions previously described, uses a mechanical device to ensure optimum position of the electromagnetic assembly over the implant. A field-effect transistor current-regulating diode is used in the circuit of the implant to limit the intensity of the pulse. Latching Log-cell mercury film switches have been incorporated into the implanted portion of the pacemaker so that only brief external electromagnetic pulses, of opposite polarity, need be used to switch electrical circuits within the body. This method provides for remote switching of circuits located in the implant. cardiac switch instrumentation; pacemaker; heart rate; mercury film
