Systems and methods for cardiac pacing during a procedure are disclosed and may include an external pulse generator (EPG) for connecting to a lead. A remote-control module (RCM) wirelessly connected to the EPG may include user inputs to control the EPG. A central processing unit (CPU) with a memory unit for storing code and a processor for executing the code may be included where the CPU is connected to the EPG and RCM. The code may control the EPG in response to user input from the RCM. The CPU may be disposed in the EPG or the RCM, or an interface module (IM) configured to communicate between an otherwise conventional EPG and the RCM. The executable code may perform a continuity test (CT) routine, a capture check (CC) routine, rapid pacing (RP) routine, and/or a back-up pacing (BP) routine, in response to user input from the RCM.

A semi-dry electrode combines advantages of wet electrodes and dry electrodes by use of a rotatable ball to apply a conductive gel at the tip of the electrode in a manner similar to how a ballpen applies ink. A reservoir in the semi-dry electrode contains the conductive gel that is applied by the ball to the skin of the user. This creates a thin film of conductive gel at the tip of the semi-dry electrode which reduces impedance and increases the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. Directly applying the conductive gel from within the electrode itself reduces mess and improves user convenience. The semi-dry electrode may be used in a lightweight electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring device to detect brain activity. The brain activity may be used as input for a brain-computer interface (BCI).

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a wearable device with an elastomeric member. The electronic device includes a housing, a key, a circuit board, a trigger structure and the elastomeric member. The key is connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing when pressed. The circuit board is connected to the housing. The trigger structure is electrically connected to the circuit board. The elastomeric member includes a first connection and a second connection, the first connection being electrically connected to the circuit board, the second connection being abutted on the key. The key, the first connection, and the second connection are conductive to the circuit board. When the key is pressed, the elastomeric member is capable of generating two level of deformation and causing the second connection to switch from a state spaced apart from the trigger structure to a state contacting the trigger structure.

Proposed is an electrocardiogram monitoring device for pets such as dogs and cats, the device including a pad that a pet climbs on a plurality of electrode bodies that are dispersedly disposed on an upper surface of the pad, and of which top portions are exposed, an electrode differentiation unit configured to select electrode bodies that are in contact with paw pads of the pet and that will receive electrical signals for electrocardiogram, and an electrocardiogram measurement unit configured to receive the electrical signals from the electrode bodies selected by the electrode differentiation unit and perform the electrocardiogram.

Disclosed herein is a catheter for delivering an implantable medical lead to an implantation site near an ostium leading to a proximal region of a coronary sinus. The catheter includes a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, a tubular body extending between the distal and proximal ends, an atraumatic fixation structure defining a distal termination of the distal end, and a lead receiving lumen. The atraumatic fixation structure is configured to enter the ostium and passively pivotally anchor with the proximal region of the coronary sinus. The lead receiving lumen extends along the tubular body from the proximal end to an opening defined in a side of the tubular body near the distal end and proximal the atraumatic fixation structure.
