Abstract:
Delivery of an implantable wireless receiver-stimulator (R-S) into the heart using delivery catheter is described. R-S comprises a cathode and an anode and wirelessly receives and converts energy, such as acoustic ultrasound energy, to electrical energy to stimulate the heart. Conductive wires routed through the delivery system temporarily connect R-S electrodes to external monitor and pacing controller. R-S comprises a first temporary electrical connection from the catheter to the cathode, and a second temporary electrical connection from the catheter to the anode. Temporary electrical connections allow external monitoring of heart's electrical activity as sensed by R-S electrodes to determine tissue viability for excitation as well as to assess energy conversion efficiency.

Claim (Index 19):
A method, comprising:\n delivering electrical energy from an external electrical pacing system to heart tissue at a location using an implantable receiver-stimulator, wherein the receiver-stimulator is configured to receive controlled acoustic energy from a controller-transmitter and to convert the acoustic energy to electrical energy, and wherein the receiver-stimulator comprises: at least two electrodes configured to deliver electrical energy; one or more temporary electrical connection(s) between the electrode(s) and the external electrical pacing system; and a disconnect mechanism to disconnect the temporary electrical connection; and determining an amount of electrical energy required to capture tissue at the location.
