Abstract
A cardiac stimulator with a method and apparatus for automatically switching the cardiac stimulator to its normal mode from its backup mode. A fault monitor receives fault signals and determines whether a particular fault warrants activation of the backup mode. If so, a number of attempts to reactivate the normal mode are permitted. The normal mode may be reactivated if the stored information is valid and if the circuitry is operational.
