Abstract
An implant comprising an electric power consuming device electrically coupled to an electric power source including an anode, a cathode and at least one potential probe which is independent of the anode and the cathode. By providing at least one potential probe which is independent of the anode and the cathode, implants can be monitored and controlled to avoid process which can damage the electrodes and shorten the service life of the electrodes and the service life of the implant itself.
