Executive Summary
Guidant has launched its Pulsar and Pulsar Max pacemaker systems in the US. Guidant says the Pulsar devices offer a choice of sensor-based options, with either an accelerometer that measures patient movement, or a tiny ventilation sensor to measure respiration. The Pulsar provides a pacing rate that matches variations in activity levels. The Pulsar Max has an algorithm to blend the signals from two sensors to optimise pacing therapy.
