First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cardiac assist system, comprising:
- a primary device housing;
said primary device housing having a first control circuit, therein, to perform synchronous cardiac assist operations;
a secondary device housing having a second control circuit, therein, to perform asynchronous cardiac assist operations; and
a detection circuit, communicatively coupled to said first and second control circuits, to detect an electromagnetic interference insult upon the cardiac assist system;
said first control circuit terminating synchronous cardiac assist operations and said second control circuit initiating asynchronous cardiac assist operations upon detection of the electromagnetic interference insult by said detection system.

Abstract
An electromagnetic immune tissue invasive system includes a primary device housing. The primary device housing having a control circuit therein. A shielding is formed around the primary device housing to shield the primary device housing and any circuits therein from electromagnetic interference. A lead system transmits and receives signals between the primary device housing. The lead system is either a fiber optic system or an electrically shielded electrical lead system.
