    摘要: A device, including an implant for placement within a hollow body organ. The implant includes a member having an undeployed shape for delivery within a hollow body and one or more deployed shapes for implantation therein. The member has sufficient rigidity in its deployed shape to exert an outward force against an interior of the hollow body so as to bring together two substantially opposing surfaces of the hollow body. The device includes a means for changing the deployed shape of the member while implanted within the hollow body. The means includes an antenna configured to wirelessly communicate with an external device. The external device is configured to communicate telemetrically with the member. The device further includes at least one means to limit rotational movement of the antenna relative at least one of the member and the external device.

    摘要: Methods and devices for optimizing the operation of a restriction system for forming a restriction in a patient are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for optimizing the operation of a gastric restriction system includes providing an implantable restriction system for forming a restriction in a patient, determining an optimum value of a control parameter of the restriction system, and maintaining the control parameter at the optimum value such that a result parameter of the restriction system is substantially convergent as a function of time. Determining an optimum value of a control parameter can generally include adjusting the restriction device, determining the value of the control parameter to be optimized, and repeating the steps of adjusting the restriction device and determining the value of the control parameter until the control parameter is substantially convergent as a function of time.

    摘要: An implantable system having internal circuitry configured to withstand a pre-determined amount of sterilization radiation is provided. In general, the system includes an internal control module in electrical communication with an implantable medical device. The internal control module can include a circuit board configured to withstand radiation and/or any number of integrated circuits (e.g., application specific integrated circuits) wherein the circuits or at least some portion thereof are fabricated so as to withstand some amount of radiation. For example, some portion of the circuitry can be fabricated utilizing radiation compliant material(s), silicon-on-insulator technology, and/or gallium arsenide technology. Additionally, the circuitry can include various components which are inherently resistant to such radiation (e.g., components fabricated utilizing magnetic field based technology, surface acoustical wave devices, etc.). A method of sterilizing an implantable medical device via radiation is also provided.
