Sterling Medical Devices participated in the development of an implanted defibrillator/pacer system which monitors the patient’s heart. It performs therapy as needed including pacing to adjust heart rate and defibrillation for atrial fibrillation. The implanted defibrillator/pacer systems included the following: defibrillator/pacer implant, defibrillator/pacer leads, and physician programmer used to adjust rates and functions of the implant.
The project focused on the development, testing, and refinement of the software, including the implant firmware for the system.
