摘要： A system and method for transcutaneous energy transfer and/or charging in a transverse direction. An external power source having a primary coil being driven at a frequency selectable in the range between eight and twelve kiloHertz contained in a housing. An implantable medical device has componentry for providing a therapeutic output and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the componentry. The external power source is capable of providing energy to the implantable medical device when the primary coil of the external power source is placed in proximity of the secondary coil of the implantable medical device. The external power source has a lateral positional adjustment for the primary coil. The frequency of the external power source is frequency adjustable providing a frequency adjustment. The positional adjustment and the frequency adjustment allows, at least in part, the system to attain an efficiency of energy transfer from the external power source to the implantable medical device of at least thirty percent.

摘要： User interface for external power source, recharger, for an implantable medical device. At least some of patient controls and display icons of an energy transfer unit are common with at least some of the patient controls and the display icons of a patient control unit. An energy transfer unit is operable by the patient with less than three operative controls to control energy transfer from the external energy transfer unit to the implantable medical device. An external antenna having a primary coil can inductively transfer energy to a secondary coil of the implantable medical device when the external antenna is externally placed in proximity of the secondary coil. An energy transfer unit has an external telemetry coil allowing the energy transfer unit to communicate with the implantable medical device through the internal telemetry coil in order to at least partially control the therapeutic output of the implantable medical device.

摘要： Shipping container for an implantable medical device having a secondary coil operatively coupled to therapeutic componentry. The container is configured to hold the implantable medical device in the container with the secondary coil positioned within a distance of a first face allowing charging of the implantable medical device without disturbing the container. The container has indicia representative of a lateral location on the first face aligned with the secondary coil of the implantable medical device. Thus, the indicia may be utilized to place an external antenna in order to charge the implantable medical device without disturbing the container. Alternatively, instead of using indicia, the implantable medical device is located in a predetermined position within the container so that the external antenna may be place with respect to the predetermined position in order to charge the implantable medical device without disturbing the container.
