Abstract: Unscheduled wireless communication with a medical device is achieved by operating a receiver of the medical device in a series of modes. Each mode provides an increasingly selective evaluation of received RF energy. The receiver, when operating in a first mode, is capable of detecting the presence of RF energy transmitted from a communicating device. The receiver, when operating in a second mode, consumes more energy than the first mode and analyzes the RF energy to determine whether it contains the appropriate type of modulation. When operating in a third mode, the receiver consumes more energy than the second mode, and operates the full receiver to begin communication with the communicating device. The receiver opens a communication session after the RF energy has passed the evaluation by the series of modes to receive an unscheduled communication.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) includes a telemetry module to communicate with an external device according to a given protocol. To establish a communication session, the IMD will extend active periods of reception on a given channel when some confirmed data is received from the external device. In addition, once a session has been opened, the programmer transmits a short data set (or preamble) for each cycle which the IMD is set to receive. This data set indicates whether additional data will or will not be sent. If no additional data is to be sent during that cycle, then the IMD powers down the receiver for that cycle.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (“IMD”) as described herein includes adjustable power characteristics such as variable transmitter output power and variable receiver front end gain. These power characteristics are adjusted based upon the intended or actual implant depth of the IMD. The IMD may process an IMD implant depth value (provided by an external IMD programming device) to generate power scaling instructions or control signals that are interpreted by the IMD transmitter and/or the IMD receiver. Such adjustability enables the IMD to satisfy minimum telemetry requirements in a manner that does not waste power, thus extending the IMD battery life.

Abstract translation: 如本文所述的可植入医疗装置（“IMD”）包括诸如可变发射器输出功率和可变接收器前端增益的可调功率特性。 这些功率特性根据IMD的预期或实际植入深度进行调整。 IMD可以处理IMD植入深度值（由外部IMD编程设备提供）以产生由IMD发射机和/或IMD接收机解释的功率缩放指令或控制信号。 这种可调性使IMD能够以不浪费电力的方式满足最小遥测要求，从而延长了IMD的电池寿命。

Abstract: A medical system includes a body-contacting signal source adapted to transmit an oscillatory signal though a body to a transducer of a device implanted therein. A detector that is coupled to the transducer, upon detection of a response of the transducer to the signal, activates a radio-frequency (RF) telemetry component of the device.
