摘要: A device, system and method that communicate with at least one implantable medical device (IMD). The device includes a unit and a surface having at least one reception or transmission element that communicate with the at least one IMD. A minimum pressure required for the contact between transmission or reception elements and skin is provided by gravity or by patient interaction with the device. The system includes the at least one IMD, the unit that communicates with the at least one IMD and the device having the at least one reception or transmission element that communicate with the at least one IMD. The method includes the steps of providing a surface having at least one reception or transmission element that communicate with an IMD, and enabling communication upon detection of a minimum pressure on the surface. The communication with the IMD is acoustic or conductive.

摘要: Embodiments include an implant and a method of operating the implant. The implant includes a receiver that receives first ultrasound signals emitted by an external transmitting unit of a further apparatus. The receiver includes a piezoelement, which is excited by the first ultrasound signals at a first resonance frequency (f1) and therefrom converts the mechanical energy transferred with the first ultrasound signals into electrical energy. In embodiments of the invention, the piezoelement is additionally excited at a second resonance frequency (f2), which differs from the first resonance frequency (f1), and at the second resonance frequency (f2) operates as a transmitter to transmit second ultrasound signals.

摘要: An implantable medical device comprises an electronic functional device for performing a function of said implantable medical device, said electronic functional device having an operational state for performing said function and a switched-off state. A wake-up device serves for transferring said functional device from said switched-off state to said operational state. The wake-up device comprises a first timer circuit for repeatedly transferring the functional device to the operational state according to a predetermined first timing scheme, a detection device for detecting a signal from a signal source external to the implantable medical device, and a second timer circuit for repeatedly switching the detection device to a reception state according to a second timing scheme.

摘要: Embodiments include an epicardial heart stimulator that includes a housing and electric components arranged in the housing. The electric components include a stimulation unit, a stimulation control unit, and at least one stimulation electrode on the housing. The stimulation electrode is connected to the stimulation unit and to the stimulation control unit. The stimulation unit provides electric energy that corresponds to a stimulation pulse and delivers the stimulation pulse via the stimulation electrode upon a corresponding trigger signal of the stimulation control unit. The epicardial heart stimulator includes a sensing electrode on the housing that senses electric potentials and that is electrically connected to a sensing unit in the housing. The sensing unit is connected to the stimulation control unit. The stimulation control unit, in a corresponding operating mode, controls the delivery of a respective trigger signal in accordance with an output signal of the sensing unit.

摘要: An implantable medical device having a hollow housing and a connector housing connected (e.g., rigidly) together, each containing electrical components. The components contained in the hollow housing include a receiver for wireless communication. The components contained in the connector housing include an antenna electrically connected to the receiver and configured to receive electromagnetic waves having a frequency greater than 100 MHz. The receiver/antenna allows the receipt of data in the MICS frequency band. The electrical components arranged in the connector housing additionally include a resonant circuit having a coil and a capacitor which is inductively coupled to the antenna. The resonant circuit is matched to magnetic alternating fields in a frequency range between 5 kHz and 50 MHz, preferably having a resonance frequency between 5 kHz and 50 MHz. The resonant circuit is suitable for data communication in the near field of the implantable medical device via magnetic alternating fields.
