Abstract
The present invention is a one piece, disposable pulse generator emulator for emulating a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) having an active housing electrode. The emulator of the present invention is for use with an external test system to screen a patient for candidacy for an ICD by determining the patient's minimum defibrillation threshold voltage. The one piece, disposable emulator has a housing that has substantially the same conductive geometry as the desired implantable pulse generator.
