    摘要: An implantable neurostimulator system is capable of responsively treating epileptiform activity with electrical stimulation and other therapies and is further configured to detect periods of increased susceptibility to clinical seizures. The event densities of therapy applications (or detections or other events) in time are observed and calculated, and if high enough, measures are taken to warn the patient or provide additional therapy.

    摘要: An implantable multimodal neurostimulator having improved efficacy in treating epilepsy and other neurological disorders and processes of using that neurostimulator are described herein. The neurostimulator itself generally has two modes of electrical stimulation. The first involves delivering a non-responsive electrical stimulation signal that is applied to the central nervous system to reduce the likelihood of a seizure or other undesirable neurological even from occurring. Various waveform morphologies are described for non-responsive stimulation signals. A second mode involves delivering a responsive electrical stimulation signal when epileptiform waveforms are impending or extant. The responsive electrical stimulation signal is intended to terminate epileptiform activity, e.g., to desynchronize abnormally synchronous brain electrical activity.

    摘要: A ferrule for removably retaining a self-contained implantable device within a cranial opening of a patient is set forth. The ferrule includes a shelf portion, a wall portion, and at least one supporting tab connected to the wall portion. The shelf portion has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the shelf portion substantially conforms to an implantable device. The wall portion has an inner surface and an outer surface and encompasses the shelf portion. The inner surface of the wall portion substantially conforms to the implantable device and the outer surface of the wall portion substantially conforms to the cranial opening.

    摘要: An electrode system is provided for an implantable cardiac defibrillator. The electrode system includes a first endocardial lead having at least one electrode and a second epicardial or extrapericardial lead with an electrode that has a flexible configuration such that it is able to be straightened or compressed into an introducer but will expand when released from the introducer to provide a substantially larger surface area simulating the surface area of a patch electrode.

    摘要: An implantable cardiac deibrillator is provided having a battery, capacitive means, means coupled to the battery for charging the capacitive means, and means for coupling the capacitive means to a patient's heart, for delivering a high voltage shock to the heart. Current leakage from the capacitive means is detected. If the current leakage exceeds a predetermined amount, charging of the capacitive means is terminated. In one embodiment, voltage at the patient is directly sensed. In another embodiment, the voltage across a resistance located in series with the patient is sensed. In another embodiment, a test charge is provided for a short interval. The capacitive means is sensed to determine excessive loss of energy after the test charge. If excessive loss of energy is determined, charging is terminated.
