Abstract: A fixation mechanism of an implantable medical device is formed by a plurality of tines fixedly mounted around a perimeter of a distal end of the device. Each tine may be said to include a first segment fixedly attached to the device, a second segment extending from the first segment, and a third segment, to which the second segment extends. When the device is loaded in a lumen of a delivery tool and a rounded free distal end of each tine engages a sidewall that defines the lumen, to hold the tines in a spring-loaded condition, the first segment of each tine, which has a spring-biased pre-formed curvature, becomes relatively straightened, and the third segment of each tine, which is terminated by the free distal end, extends away from the axis of the device at an acute angle in a range from about 45 degrees to about 75 degrees.

Abstract: An implantable medical device includes ventricular and atrial portions, and a flexible leadlet that extends therebetween. An open channel of the atrial portion, formed along a core thereof, is sized to receive the leadlet therein, when the leadlet is folded over on itself. An interventional medical system includes the device and a delivery tool; a tubular sidewall of the tool defines a lumen and has a tether extending therein. A slot formed in the sidewall extends proximally from an open end thereof, coincident with a distal opening of the lumen. When the atrial portion is contained within the lumen, a segment of the leadlet extends alongside the atrial portion; another segment of the leadlet, being folded over on itself, proximal to the atrial portion, has the tether engaged therewith. The slot may allow passage of the leadlet therethrough, when the atrial portion is positioned for deployment through the distal opening.

Abstract: An example fixation component for an implantable medical device (IMD) includes a base and a plurality of tines configured be deployed with a target deployment stiffness to engage tissue a target implant site while maintaining a target deflection stiffness after deployment. The base defines a longitudinal axis of the fixation component and is fixedly attached near the distal end of the IMD. Each tine is spaced apart from one another around a perimeter of the distal end of the IMD and extend from the base. A shape of each tine is selected to control each of the target deployment stiffness and target deflection stiffness.

Abstract: A relatively compact implantable medical device includes a fixation member formed by a plurality of fingers mounted around a perimeter of a distal end of a housing of the device; each finger is elastically deformable from a relaxed condition to an extended condition, to accommodate delivery of the device to a target implant site, and from the relaxed condition to a compressed condition, to accommodate wedging of the fingers between opposing tissue surfaces at the target implant site, wherein the compressed fingers hold a cardiac pacing electrode of the device in intimate tissue contact for the delivery of pacing stimulation to the site. Each fixation finger is preferably configured to prevent penetration thereof within the tissue when the fingers are compressed and wedged between the opposing tissue surfaces. The pacing electrode may be mounted on a pacing extension, which extends distally from the distal end of the device housing.

Abstract: A pacemaker has a housing and a therapy delivery circuit enclosed by the housing for generating pacing pulses for delivery to a patient's heart. An electrically insulative distal member is coupled directly to the housing and at least one non-tissue piercing cathode electrode is coupled directly to the insulative distal member. A tissue piercing electrode extends away from the housing.

In one example, a medical system comprising processing circuitry communicably coupled to a glucose sensor and configured to generate continuous glucose sensor measurements of a patient. The processing circuitry is further configured to: extract at least one feature from the continuous glucose sensor measurements over at least one time period, wherein the at least one feature comprises one or more of an amount of time within a pre-determined glucose level range, a number of hypoglycemia events, a number of hyperglycemia events, or one or more statistical metrics corresponding to the continuous glucose sensor measurements; apply a machine learning model to the at least one extracted feature to produce data indicative of a risk of a cardiovascular event; and generate output data based on the risk of the cardiovascular event.
