Evaluation of an implantable ECG monitoring device in vitro and in vivo.

An implantable wireless, inductively powered ECG-monitoring device has been tested both in vitro and in vivo. Measurements were done in saline, on the body surface and in cows. Measurement results are reported and some considerations about the device suitability for a long-time monitoring are made.

Wireless and inductively powered implant for measuring electrocardiogram.

The development of an active implantable device for measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) is presented. The study is a part of a project which aims at developing implantable ECG instrumentation with wireless data and power transfer ( http://www.ele.
