Heart stimulators (heart defibrillators A61N1/39)

Introduced: January 1985

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: Heart stimulators

CPC: Heart stimulators (heart defibrillators A61N1/39)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Electrotherapy; Circuits therefor > Applying electric currents by contact electrodes > alternating or intermittent currents > for stimulation, e.g. heart pace-makers > Heart stimulators

CPC:

Electrotherapy; Circuits therefor (A61N2/00 takes precedence; irradiation apparatus A61N5/00) > Applying electric currents by contact electrodes > alternating or intermittent currents > for stimulation > Heart stimulators (heart defibrillators A61N1/39)

CPC subdivides this area 4x more granularly than IPC with 5 additional codes.

5 codes are CPC-only extensions.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1985.
