    摘要： A method for operating an implantable therapy system to conserve energy includes providing an implantable sensing device that generates a signal as a function of a physiological parameter of a patient during a treatment period. The signal is monitored during at least portions of the treatment period to detect a physiological event for use in controlling therapy of the patient during the treatment period. Energy consumption by the sensing device is terminated during the treatment period for at least portions of the treatment period when signal monitoring is not performed. Another method for operating an implantable therapy system for conserving energy includes providing an implantable component for performance of a function during a treatment period for the therapy system. The implantable component is operable in at least a first state during the treatment period and a second state outside of the treatment period; the first state using more energy than the second state. The implantable component is operated in the first state when performance of the function during a treatment period is required and operated in the second state when performance of the function is not required outside the treatment period. Another method of operating an implantable therapy system includes monitoring a periodic physiological parameter for controlling therapy of a patient during a treatment period. The measured physiological period for the parameter of the patient is compared to at least one predetermined period threshold to determine nonperiodic behavior of the monitored periodic physiological parameter and suspending therapy of the patient as a function thereof. Systems for use with such methods are also provided.

    摘要： Methods and apparatus for ablating a target tissue are discussed. Such methods and apparatus include those that simplify tissue ablation. For example, a tissue ablation device having an actuator, such as a trigger mechanism, coupled to a power source and an electrode is discussed. A single step of engaging the actuator causes the electrode to be introduced into the target tissue and causes energy to be delivered from the power supply to the tissue via the electrode. Devices that include an electrode actuator for causing the electrode to be introduced into the target tissue and a fluid actuator for causing the fluid to flow to the target tissue are also discussed. Methods of causing the electrode to be introduced into the target tissue and fluid to flow to the target tissue with a single step and more than one step are also discussed.

    摘要： In general, the invention is directed to an IMD having a piezoelectric transformer to power a lead-based sensor. The IMD powers the piezoelectric transformer with a low amplitude signal. The piezoelectric transformer serves to convert the voltage level of the low amplitude signal to a higher voltage level to drive the sensor. produced by a battery in the IMD to voltage levels appropriate for IMD operation. A piezoelectric transformer offers small size and low profile, as well as operational efficiency, and permits the IMD to transmit a low amplitude signal to a remote sensor deployed within an implantable lead. In addition, the piezoelectric transformer provides electrical isolation that reduces electromagnetic interference among different sensors.

    摘要： A method and system for programming settings of a medical device surgically implanted within a body of a patient. The system comprises a physician programmer, a patient programmer, an external neural stimulator, and a telemetry component being in communication with the implanted medical device, the external neural stimulator, and the physician programmer. The implantable medical device may be programmed using a two-phase process, a screening phase and an implant phase. During the screening phase, the physician and patient programmers ma be used to roughly test the parameters of the stimulation to determine that the treatment therapy is efficacious. During the implant phase, the same physician and patient programmers may be used to fine tune the parameters of the stimulation.

    摘要： A testing method for use with a patient stimulation system includes providing a stimulation system including a patient control unit. The patient control unit initiates and terminates treatment periods. At least one period of stimulation to stimulate the patient is automatically provided upon initiating a treatment period. Another method includes a system test method for use with a therapy system. The method includes providing a therapy system having a plurality of components; the therapy system physiologically interacting with a patient. A diagnostic self test of a component of the therapy system is performed internally to the system to determine if the component is functioning properly at a time when the therapy system is not interacting physiologically with the patient. Apparatus for using such methods are also provided.

    摘要： A method of predicting critical points in patient respiration includes monitoring at least one characteristic of a respiratory effort waveform of a patient to detect a respiratory event. A refractory period is defined that includes a hard refractory period during which time the respiratory event cannot be responded to and a soft refractory period following the hard refractory period. The respiratory event outside of the refractory period is detected as a function of a first set of predetermined parameters for the monitored at least one characteristic and the respiratory event within the soft refractory period is detected as a function of a second set of predetermined parameters for the monitored at least one characteristic. The respiratory event may be inspiration onset and the characteristic of the respiratory effort waveform monitored is at least one of slope and amplitude. The refractory period may be defined based on detection of inspiration offset and further may be defined based on inspiration offset, an average respiratory period, and an average time of inspiration. Further, stimulation may be provided in response to a detected inspiration onset. Another method of predicting critical points includes sampling the amplitude of the respiratory effort waveform of a patient. A sample signal is generated representative of at least one characteristic of the respiratory effort waveform based on each amplitude sample. The sample signals representative of the at least one characteristic of the respiratory effort waveform are monitored and a respiratory event is detected as a function of at least two sample signals. Apparatus and systems for use with such methods are also described.
