    摘要： A method carried out by an implantable medical device (IMD) for coordinating performance of one or more designated functions includes waiting in a low-power state for a predetermined event, detecting the predetermined event, and, responsive to detecting the predetermined event, searching for a wake-up command from a coordinating device implanted in the human body. The method further includes, receiving the wake-up command, and responsive to receiving the wake-up command, performing the one or more designated functions, and returning to the low-power state. A system includes a network of one or more implantable medical devices (IMDs) implanted in a human body. The system includes a satellite IMD operable to change between a plurality of power states, search for a wake-up command, and transmit an identification signal. The system may include a primary unit operable to receive the signal and coordinate a wake-up time based on the signal.

    摘要： A far-field radio frequency telemetry (RF) system for communicating with an implantable medical device includes a diversity antenna system. An antenna control circuit selects one or more antennas of the diversity antenna system for reducing potential data transmission errors associated with nulls encountered by the telemetry system due to environmental reflections of RF electromagnetic waves. In one embodiment, a different active antenna is selected when a transmission failure deemed to be associated with a null is detected. In another embodiment, a new antenna is selected on a regular basis to reduce the probability of encountering a null. In another embodiment, the telemetry system includes multiple processing paths each associated with one antenna of the diversity antenna system, and a different processing path is selected when the transmission failure deemed to be associated with a null is detected.

    摘要： One embodiment of the present invention relates to an implantable medical device (“IMD”) that can be programmed from one operational mode to another operational mode when in the presence of electro-magnetic interference (“EMI”). In accordance with this particular embodiment, the IMD includes a communication interface for receiving communication signals from an external device, such as a command to switch the IMD from a first operation mode to a second operation mode. The IMD further includes a processor in electrical communication with the communication interface, which is operable to switch or reprogram the IMD from the first operation mode to the second operation mode upon receiving a command to do so. In addition, the IMD includes a timer operable to measure a time period from when the processor switches the IMD to the second operation mode. In accordance with this aspect of the invention, the processor is in electrical communication with the timer, and is further operable to switch the IMD from the second operation mode back to the first operation mode when the measured time period reaches a predetermined time period.

    摘要： Radio frequency bandwidth from a far field transmitter of an implantable medical device is adjusted by controlling the data rate, the output power level, the transmitter supply voltage or combinations thereof. Adjustments are made on the basis of a sensed temperature, absence or presence of a lead or by way of wave shaping. A Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonator based transmitter exhibits stable bandwidth in a temperature controlled operating environment. For temperatures outside of the range of human body temperature, the output of the SAW-based transmitter is adjusted to provide reduced bandwidth.
