PGH Programming Head
ICS 3000 PGH
(Programming
head)
Communication between the programmer and the
implant takes place by means of telemetry via the
ICS 3000 PGH (programming head). The output data
from the implant (digital and analog) are converted
into digitally coded impulses and transmitted over an
inductive coupling between the coils of the
programming head and those of the implant.
Note: Connect the programming head to the Operation
Module before you turn it on.
The programming head port is located on the back of
the Operation Module, behind the mount for the
programming head (see the fold-out page).
With some implants, telemetry cannot be carried out
until a reed switch in the implant has been closed. For
this reason, a strong permanent magnet has been
integrated into the programming head. Before the
programming head and the implant can exchange
data, the reed switch in the implant is closed.
When the reed switch is open, telemetry is blocked.
This protects the implant from unintentional
reprogramming. With some implants, closing the reed
switch also switches the device over to an
asynchronous pacing program (see the technical
manual of the respective implant).
