3 wire life

I am sporting a 3wire model that was installed April 2010.

At a check up a couple weeks ago I asked the doctor what the life expectancy was. He said 4 years. My first one a 2 wire lasted 8 years. I also found out I have an interim model that can not be checked by phone. Anybody have any ideas of where this old man is going?

2 wire

I had a two-wire implanted 3/2008 and had a six month checkup Early Jan 2012. My battery is only a little less than 1/2 used and mine runs continuosly. Probably good for at least 3 more years.

You know you're wired when...

“Batteries not included” takes on a new meaning.

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
