Abstract: An apparatus having a foil pack defining a device enclosure and a fluid conduit defining a fluid channel. The device enclosure may be configured to hold an energy storage device such as a battery or capacitor. The fluid conduit defines a fluid channel configured to allow a flow from the device enclosure through a test port defined by the fluid conduit. The apparatus is configured to establish a vacuum in the device enclosure when a vacuum is established in the fluid channel (e.g., during leak testing of the device enclosure). A scaffolding within the fluid conduit is configured to configured to resist a collapse of the fluid channel when the vacuum is established in the fluid channel.

Abstract: A medical device may include an electrosurgical hand piece. The electrosurgical hand piece may have a housing with a proximal end, a distal end, and a chamber proximate the proximal end. The chamber may be configured to releasably retain and electrically couple with a power source. The electrosurgical hand piece may also include a treatment delivery element configured to releasably couple to the distal end of the housing. The treatment delivery element may be configured to communicate with the power source and deliver biphasic pulsed field ablation. The medical device may also include a charging element which may charge the power source using inductive charging or near-field (RF) wireless charging.

Abstract: A method for delivering optical stimulation comprises transfecting a target tissue with a light-sensitive channel protein sensitive to light in a wavelength range, delivering light in the wavelength range to the target tissue via an optical stimulation device, substantially simultaneously with delivering light to the target tissue, sensing bioelectric signals, determining a patient therapeutic state based on the bioelectric signals, and adjusting the delivery of the light to the target tissue based on the sensed patient therapeutic state.

Abstract: An implantable active medical device system includes an active medical device and a lead extending between a proximal portion electrically coupled to the active medical device and a distal end portion configured to emit light. The distal end portion includes a solid state light source disposed within a light transmissive ring element. The light transmissive ring element forms an exterior segment of the distal end portion. The light transmissive ring element defines at least a portion of a hermetic cavity.
