Abstract:

BACKGROUND: An artificial cardiac pacemaker has to be implanted into human body for a long time, so its life-span is very important. The cell energy is an important factor, especially in energy-consuming implanted artificial cardiac pacemaker. Currently, an exterior-chargeable implanted artificial cardiac pacemaker has not been invented.
OBJECTIVE: To study on the exterior-chargeable technology, reduce artificial cardiac pacemaker’s dependence on the cell energy, hoping to solve the technology problem of tremble-removing implanted artificial cardiac pacemaker.
METHODS: The author proposed to use a certain medium, which is woundless and harmless to human body, transfers exterior energy to the receiver implanted into human body, providing the chargeable cell with energy, thus prolong pacemaker’s life-span.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The author trial-manufactured a chargeable artificial cardiac pacemaker, carried experiments on animals, using ultrasonic transferring energy. Thus, the author made further study on concerned technology.
