Abstract:
1. An implantable medical device (IMD) system comprising: a housing having a defibrillation lead port and a pacing lead port; a defibrillation lead configured to be connected to the defibrillation lead port; a pacing lead configured to be connected to the pacing lead port; a control module operable to receive a first connection signal indicative of a connection of the defibrillation lead to the defibrillation lead port and a second connection signal indicative of a connection of the pacing lead to the pacing lead port, wherein the first connection signal differs from the second connection signal and the control module generates a mode signal triggered by receipt of at least one of the first connection signal and the second connection signal; a high voltage circuit coupled to the control module and operable to generate a defibrillation shock therapy; a low voltage circuit coupled to the control module and operable to generate a pacing pulse therapy; and a mode-selection module configured to select between a single lead mode and a multi-lead mode based on the mode signal generated by the control module.
