Abstract

A stimulation engine configured to identify a fault condition in an implantable lead, including a regulator configured to deliver an electrical pulse between at least two electrodes of the implantable stimulation lead, and a sensing module configured to detect at least an initial voltage and a subsequent voltage between the at least two electrodes at different times during delivery of the electrical pulse, and compare at least the subsequent voltage to a defined threshold value representing an expected voltage at the same time during the electrical pulse to determine the presence of a fault condition.
