Development of Automatic Threshold Analyzer

Abstract

Pacing failure due to elevated threshold is the most difficult problem in electrical stimulation of the heart. It is important for the prevention of this pacing failure to wedge the electrode into a low threshold position. But the measurement of the threshold is troublesome, and particularly the judgment of the point is difficult on intermittent pacing. Each measures the threshold on his own level, so the value may be differ with which another have measured.
We have developed the new device Automatic Threshold Analyzer (KU-800). This device replies the threshold automatically. The benefits are easiness, making better time, safety, and reappearance of the value.
