Abstract
Nowadays, cardiac pacemaker technology includes a wide range of implantable medical devices, the use of which has increased worldwide. According to valid national and European legislation, cardiac pacemaker technology falls into a group of active implantable medical devices (AIMD). This group is subject to the most severe requirements with regard to safety and reliability.
