Abstract

The disclosed pacemaker module includes a case unit, a vertical movement guide, an atrial sensor, and a pacemaker. The pacemaker module according to the present disclosure has an excellent effect in that it is capable of accurately measuring the flow of current in the entire heart and capable of being accurately and consistently operated with a simple operation, which makes it possible to accurately implant the pacemaker module.

Claims (19)

1. A pacemaker module comprising:

a case unit through which a vertical movement guide wire, an atrial sensor re-coupling wire, and a pacemaker re-coupling wire pass;

a vertical movement guide connected to the vertical movement guide wire and including a hole port through which the atrial sensor re-coupling wire and the pacemaker re-coupling wire pass;

an atrial sensor connected to the atrial sensor re-coupling wire and including a first sensor and a first fixing part; and

a pacemaker connected to the pacemaker re-coupling wire and including a second sensor and outputting cardiac stimulation pulses and a second fixing part,

wherein the case unit includes a magnetic body,

wherein the pacemaker module is moved by applying a magnetic field to the magnetic body of the case unit,

wherein the vertical movement guide wire, the atrial sensor re-coupling wire, and the pacemaker re-coupling wire are independently movable according to a user's manipulation,

wherein the vertical movement guide, the atrial sensor, and the pacemaker are arranged in the order of the vertical movement guide, the atrial sensor, and the pacemaker from the side opposite to an ejection port in the case unit, wherein the case unit includes a rotational motion guide arranged on an inner surface thereof, the rotational motion guide includes a recess, and the recess has a spiral shape,

wherein the first fixing part and the second fixing part each have a spiral shape,

wherein the atrial sensor and the pacemaker are moved into the case unit by moving the atrial sensor re-coupling wire and the pacemaker re-coupling wire into the case unit, and

wherein the atrial sensor and the pacemaker rotate while being pushed to the ejection port in the case unit by the vertical movement guide, which moves linearly, thereby providing a force to cause the first fixing part and the second fixing part to penetrate a heart portion.

2. The pacemaker module of claim 1 , wherein the atrial sensor and the pacemaker are connected to each other via a data transmission wire.

3. The pacemaker module of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic body is a permanent magnet.

4. The pacemaker module of claim 1 , wherein the atrial sensor includes at least one first protrusion configured to be engageable with the rotational motion guide, and

the pacemaker includes at least one second protrusion configured to be engageable with the rotational motion guide.

5. The pacemaker module of claim 1 , wherein the atrial sensor further includes a first re-coupling loop, and the atrial sensor re-coupling wire is connected to the atrial sensor via the first re-coupling loop.

6. The pacemaker module of claim 5 , wherein the pacemaker further includes a second re-coupling loop, and the pacemaker re-coupling wire is connected to the pacemaker via the second re-coupling loop.

7. The pacemaker module of claim 1 , wherein the second sensor includes an electrode arranged on a surface of the second sensor thereof.
