An infusion system for infusing a liquid into a body includes an external infusion device and a remote commander. The external infusion device includes a housing, a receiver, a processor and an indication device. The receiver is coupled to the housing and for receiving remotely generated commands. The processor is coupled to the housing and the receiver to receive remotely generated commands and to control the external infusion device in accordance with the commands. The indication device indicates when a command has been received and indicates when the command is being utilized to control the external infusion device so that the external infusion device is capable of being concealed from view when being remotely commanded. The remote commander includes a commander housing, a keypad for transmitting commands, and a transmitter for transmitting commands to the receiver of the external infusion device.

Implantable leads incorporating accelerometer-based cardiac wall motion sensors, and a method of fabricating such leads, are provided. The cardiac wall motion sensors transduce accelerations of cardiac tissue to provide electrical signals indicative of cardiac wall motion to an implantable cardiac stimulating device. The implantable cardiac stimulating device may use the electrical signals indicative of cardiac wall motion to detect and discriminate among potentially malignant cardiac arrhythmias. In response to a detected abnormal cardiac rhythm, the cardiac stimulating device may deliver therapeutic electrical stimulation to selected regions of cardiac tissue.

An improved sensor and related method for multi-axial measurement of motion for an implantable medical device is disclosed. The sensor has a wide variety of applications, including use as a cardiac wall motion sensor or a physical activity sensor. The sensor includes first and second conductors over which the motion measurements are made. A first transducer provides a first motion measurement indicative of sensor acceleration during a first phase, while a second transducer provides a second motion measurement indicative of sensor acceleration during a second phase. The first and second transducers are connected in parallel so as to provide the first and second motion measurements to an implantable medical device over the first and second conductors. The first and second phases are non-overlapping periods of time so that the motion measurements from each transducer are time division multiplexed. The sensor provides motion measurements that may either be compensated or uncompensated for temperature effects.

An implantable cardiac device is disclosed having a converter that provides a digital electrocardiogram signal to a controller which is stored in memory or transmitted via the telemetry circuit in an improved compressed fashion. The improved compression scheme comprises sampling the electrogram signal, transmitting the starting value in an uncompressed format followed by a plurality of delta signals in a compressed format. The delta signals may be determined by subtracting successive signals or by subtracting a predicted value from the current value. In either case, the delta signal is then transmitted in a truncated number of bits, e. g. , 2 or 4 bits. When the delta signal is too large to be represented in the compressed number of bits, the controller then provides an indicator signal followed by the delta signal in the uncompressed format. In addition, whenever successive delta signals are below a minimum threshold (e. g. , zero), they may be compressed into a count.
