Abstract:
1. An implantable medical device comprising: an implantable function conductor comprising at least one elongated electrical function conductor that is configured to transmit therapeutic signals or diagnostic signals or both; an implantable controllable voltage source or controllable current source or adjustable terminating impedance that is coupled to the function conductor; an implantable control unit which is connected to the controllable voltage source or controllable current source or to the adjustable terminating impedance, and which is configured to control a voltage to be applied to the function conductor by the controllable voltage source, or to control a current to be applied to the function conductor by the controllable current source, or to adjust an impedance of the adjustable terminating impedance; an implantable interference field sensor which is connected to the control unit, and which is used to detect an alternating electromagnetic or magnetic field, and to supply an output signal, corresponding to the detected alternating electromagnetic or magnetic field, to the control unit; wherein the implantable control unit is further configured to
