Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) with an inductive coil for wireless communication and/or power transfer. The inductive coil may be disposed about a housing of the IMD. The housing may include a magnetically permeable material that is configured to operate as a flux concentrator for concentrating non-radiative near-field energy through the inductive coil. In some cases, the near-field energy may be captured and converted into electrical energy that may be used to recharge a rechargeable power source of the IMD.

Abstract: An implantable device, such as a pacer, defibrillator, or other cardiac rhythm management device, can include one or more MRI Safe components. In an example, the implantable device includes a battery including a first electrode and a second electrode separate from the first electrode. The second electrode includes a first surface and a second surface. The second electrode includes a slot through the second electrode from the first surface toward the second surface. The slot extends from a perimeter of the second electrode to an interior of the second electrode. The slot is configured to at least partially segment a surface area of the second electrode to reduce a radial current loop size in the second electrode.
