Abstract
A medical device and associated method determine a signal amplitude of a sensor signal produced by a MEMS sensor, compare the signal amplitude to a stiction detection condition, detect stiction of the MEMS sensor in response to the signal amplitude meeting the stiction detection condition, and automatically provide a corrective action in response to detecting the stiction.
