A pacemaker comprises a processing unit, a detector and a pacing signal generator, all electrically interconnected, the detector determines patient activity signals and provides the activity signals to the processing unit, the processing unit determines a pacing rate based on the currently received activity signals and on a gain value in an adaption or stabilized mode, the processing unit produces a pace control signal based on the determined pacing rate and provides it to the pacing signal generator, in the adaption mode the processing unit adapts the gain value to the specific patient, the processing unit stays in the adaption mode as long as a stability criterion is not met and transitions in the stabilized mode if a stability criterion is met, wherein in the stabilized mode the processing unit uses a locked gain value determined based on the most recently adapted gain values for determining the pacing rate.
A pacemaker for a patient's heart, comprising a processing unit, a detector and a pacing signal generator, wherein the processing unit, the detector and the pacing signal generator are electrically interconnected, wherein the detector is configured to determine activity signals of the patient and to provide the activity signals to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to determine a pacing rate based on the currently received activity signals of the detector and on a gain value in an adaption mode or in a stabilized mode, wherein the processing unit is configured to produce a pace control signal based on the determined pacing rate and to provide it to the pacing signal generator, wherein in the adaption mode the processing unit is configured to adapt the gain value to the specific patient, wherein the processing unit is configured to stay in the adaption mode as long as at least one stability criterion is not met and to transition in the stabilized mode if the processing unit identifies that the at least one stability criterion is met, wherein in the stabilized mode the processing unit is configured to use a locked gain value determined based on the most recently adapted gain values for determining the pacing rate.
An operation method of a pacemaker for a patient's heart, wherein the pacemaker comprises a processing unit, a detector and a pacing signal generator, wherein the processing unit, the detector and the pacing signal generator are electrically interconnected, wherein activity signals of the patient are determined by the detector and transmitted to the processing unit, wherein a pacing rate is determined by the processing unit based on the current activity signals of the detector and based on a gain value in an adaption mode or in a stabilized mode, wherein a pace control signal is produced by the processing unit based on the determined pacing rate and transmitted to the pacing signal generator, wherein in the adaption mode the gain value is adapted to the specific patient, wherein the processing unit stays in the adaption mode as long as at least one stability criterion is not met and transitions in the stabilized mode if the processing unit identifies that the at least one stability criterion is met, wherein in the stabilized mode the processing unit uses a locked gain value determined based on the most recently adapted gain values for determining the pacing rate.
