Abstract
A medical apparatus is provided comprising a delivery device and an algorithm. The delivery device comprises: a plurality of electrodes, a first lead, and a second lead. The plurality of electrodes comprises a first set of electrodes comprising one or more electrodes, and a second set of electrodes comprising one or more electrodes. The first lead comprises the first set of electrodes, and the second lead comprises the second set of electrodes. The delivery device is configured to measure impedance between multiple pairs of electrodes of the plurality of electrodes. The algorithm is configured to determine position information of the first lead and/or the second lead.
