Patent ID: 8750963

Claim:
An implantable electromedical device, comprising a detection unit configured to capture a device-impairing effect or effects; a diagnostic-treatment unit configured to record physiological parameters or deliver a treatment or both record the physiological parameters and deliver the treatment, comprising a diagnostic unit or a treatment unit or both the diagnostic unit and the treatment unit; a memory; a test unit configured to test the diagnostic-treatment unit, and to output test results obtained from said test and store said test results in said memory; a control unit connected to the detection unit, the diagnostic-treatment unit, the memory and the test unit, wherein the control unit is configured to actuate the test unit to test the diagnostic-treatment unit, trigger a before-test of at least a portion of the diagnostic-treatment unit by the test unit in response to an output signal from said detection unit indicative of said device-impairing effect, wherein during the before-test, the test unit captures values of system integrity parameters that characterize an operating capability of the implantable medical device.
