A microcontroller based pacemaker tester
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of a microcontroller based pacemaker tester is presented in this paper. Both invasive and noninvasive (transthoracic) pacemakers can be tested using this device. Two test loads are provided; a 500 ohms load for testing invasive pacemakers and a 50 ohms load for testing non-invasive pacemakers. A two line LCD display is used to indicate the test parameters, test results and the test in progress. The test results can be conveniently transferred to a PC or to a printer through the RS232C serial port provided. The unit can be packaged inside a small package and hence can be used as a handheld tester.
