1. A method for conditioning an implanted biomedical device in a human patient, said method comprising:

  • (a) providing an implanted system having;

    (i) a current generating means;

    (ii) a first electrode electrically coupled to said current generating means; and

    (iii) a second electrode electrically coupled to said current generating means;

    (b) positioning said first electrode subcutaneously at a first position external to the patient'"'"'s thoracic cavity;

    (c) positioning said second electrode subcutaneously at a second position external to the patient'"'"'s thoracic cavity, wherein said second position is spaced from said first position such that the implanted biomedical device is operably disposed in a thoracic area substantially between said first and second electrodes; and

    (d) causing said current generating means to generate an electric field that extends between said first and second electrodes, thereby providing an electrical current at said implanted biomedical device.
