Abstract: A method, implantable medical system and an external system for communicating an alert signal via a transcutaneous energy transfer system (TETS), with or without the presence of transmission of the alert signal by an alternative wireless communication system, are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method in an implanted medical system includes obtaining the alert signal based on an occurrence of an event, and transmitting the alert signal from the implanted medical device to the external system via a TETS used to transfer power requests to the external system.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation of an implantable blood pump includes attempting to restart a stopped implantable blood pump for a predetermined number of attempts with either power from an internal battery of a controller in communication with the implantable blood pump or transcutaneous energy transfer system (TETS) power in communication with the internal battery and the implantable blood pump. Following the predetermined number of attempts, the method includes pausing attempting to restart the implantable blood pump and begin attempting to recharge the internal battery with TETS power.

Abstract: A high contrast instrument, such as a radiopaque portion, can be captured and/or viewed in an image that is acquired with an imaging system, such as with a fluoroscopic imaging system. A statistical model can be used to assist in identifying a possible or probable location of a target. A user may move the instrument coil to the statistically probable location of the target to, for example, perform a procedure or carry out a task.

Abstract: In some examples, a medical device system includes an implantable medical device (IMD) configured to be implanted underneath a skin of a patient, the IMD comprising: acoustic receiving circuitry configured to: receive one or more acoustic communication signals; and receive one or more acoustic biometric signals from the patient. The medical device system includes communication circuitry configured for wireless communication according to a communication protocol. Additionally, the medical device system includes processing circuitry configured to: receive, via the acoustic receiving circuitry, a sequence of acoustic communication signals that are separate from the one or more acoustic biometric signals; decode the sequence of acoustic communication signals to identify one or more requested actions; and control the IMD to perform the one or more requested actions.

Abstract: A method of monitoring heating of a hermetic package of an implanted transcutaneous energy transfer system (TETS) coil, the method includes monitoring a power transfer between the implanted TETS coil and an external TETS coil; detecting an amount of power lost during the power transfer; determining if the amount of power lost during the power transfer is above a first predetermined threshold; if the power lost is above the first predetermined threshold, determining if a misalignment between the implanted TETS coil and the external TETS coil is greater than a predetermined distance; and if the misalignment is greater than the predetermined distance, generating an alert to align the external TETS coil with the implanted TETS coil.
