Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 9:
10. A device for controlling an exposure mode of therapy of an implantable medical device comprising:
a controller configured to:
determine whether a sensed heart rate of a patient exceeds a first threshold;
when the sensed heart rate does not exceed the first threshold, select a pacing rate for the exposure mode that is equal to the sensed heart rate plus a first adjustment;
when the sensed heart rate does exceed the first threshold, determine that the sensed heart rate does not exceed a second threshold that is higher than the first threshold and/or a ventricular pacing percentage does not exceed a pacing percentage threshold;
when the sensed heart rate does not exceed the second threshold and/or the ventricular pacing percentage does not exceed the pacing percentage threshold, then select the pacing rate for the exposure mode that is equal to the sensed heart rate plus a second adjustment; and
at least one of cause the device to provide an instruction about the exposure mode to the implantable medical device and/or cause the implantable medical device to enter the exposure mode.
