    Abstract: A tunneling tool for implanting a medical device into body tissue is described. The tunneling tool comprises a first leg and a second leg. An intermediate portion of the second leg is shaped to nest a medical device therein. A hub connects the first and second distal leg ends together. A sheath providing a lumen extends from the hub to an open end distal of the first and second legs. The first and second legs are manipulatable to separate the hub and the sheath into two portions, a first split portion connected to the first leg and a second split portion connected to the second leg. When a medical device is nested in the tunneling tool, breaking the tunneling tool apart enables the first and second split portions to be removed from body tissue, leaving the implanted medical device behind.

    Abstract: A medical device includes a housing and an electrode arrangement coupled to the housing and configured to sense an electrical physiologic signal from a patient. The device also includes detection circuitry coupled to the electrode arrangement and configured to obtain a cardiac signal component and a non-cardiac signal component from the physiological signal. A processor is coupled to the detection circuitry. The processor is configured to detect patient activity using at least the non-cardiac signal component and discriminate between voluntary and involuntary activity of the patient based on a comparison of temporally aligned cardiac and non-cardiac signal components.

    Abstract: In various examples, an apparatus is configured for subcutaneously inserting an implantable device within a patient. The apparatus includes a dilator portion including a dilator including a dilator length. The dilator portion is configured to separate tissue to create a subcutaneous pocket within the patient sized and shaped to accommodate an implantable device within the subcutaneous pocket. A sheath portion includes a sheath sized and shaped to accommodate the dilator within a sheath lumen. The sheath is configured to accommodate an antenna of the implantable device with the dilator removed from within the sheath. The sheath includes a sheath length that is at least substantially as long as an antenna length. The sheath is configured to separate to allow removal of the sheath around the implantable device to remove the sheath from and leave the implantable device within the subcutaneous pocket within the patient.

    Abstract: In various examples, an apparatus includes a needle cannula including a proximal end and a distal end The needle cannula includes a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. A handle is disposed at the proximal end of the needle cannula. An electrocautery receiver is associated with the handle and electrically coupled to the needle cannula, wherein, with an electrocautery device activated and placed within the electrocautery receiver, electrical energy is conducted from the electrocautery device to the distal end of the needle cannula to selectively electrocauterize tissue in contact with the distal end of the needle cannula.

    Abstract: In various examples, an apparatus includes a needle assembly including an outer cannula including a tubular sidewall disposed around a lumen. At least a portion of the sidewall includes an exterior including a polymeric material configured to inhibit skiving of an interior of a dilator with movement of the outer cannula within the dilator. An inner cannula is disposed within the lumen and is selectively slidable with respect to the outer cannula. A handle is disposed at a proximal portion of the needle assembly. The handle includes a first handle portion coupled to and movable with the outer cannula. A second handle portion is coupled to and movable with the inner cannula, wherein the first handle portion is selectively movable with respect to the second handle portion to extend a distal end of the inner cannula from within the lumen of the outer cannula.
