Abstract: An implantable medical device can include a device housing including a circuitry module and a header including a header core defining a bore configured to receive a distal end of a lead, an antenna, and a header shell disposed around the header core and the antenna. The antenna can be a closed loop antenna and arranged such that the antenna is positioned within two planes to maximize the area within the closed loop to increase the radiation characteristics of the antenna.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for wirelessly transferring information using an implantable antenna. In one example, an apparatus includes an implantable medical device that includes a housing including an implantable telemetry circuit. The apparatus includes a dielectric compartment, mechanically coupled to the housing and including first and second substantially parallel face portions, and a third face portion extending between the first and second face portions, and an antenna assembly configured to be mechanically attached to the dielectric compartment and configured to be electrically coupled to the implantable telemetry circuit, the antenna assembly includes a spiral conductor comprising first, second, and third spiral conductor portions that extend adjacent the first, second, and third face portions, respectively, of the dielectric compartment, where the first, second, and third spiral conductor portions define an interior region, and where at least a portion of the third spiral conductor portion extends inwardly into the interior region.

Abstract: Implantable medical device (IMD) such as leadless cardiac pacemakers may include a rechargeable power source. In some cases, the IMD may include a plurality of receiving coils that may capture a non-radiative near-field energy and then convert the near-field energy into electrical energy that may be used to recharge the rechargeable power source. Accordingly, since the rechargeable power source does not have to maintain sufficient energy stores in a single charge for the entire expected life of the IMD, the power source itself and thus the IMD, may be made smaller while still meeting device longevity expectations.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to medical device systems including features to enable secure wireless communications between components thereof. In an embodiment, a medical device system is included having an implantable medical device packaging unit and an implantable device. The implantable device can include a control circuit and a communications antenna. The implantable device can be configured to fit within the implantable medical device packaging unit prior to implantation in a patient. The system can also include a data bearing tag, wherein the data bearing tag is disposed on or in the implantable medical device packaging unit. In some embodiments the system can also include an external communication device. The external communication device can be configured to receive data from the data bearing tag enabling secure wireless communications between the implantable device and the external communication device. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A capacitively loaded loop antenna for an implantable medical device is disclosed comprising a feed extending from a conductive surface of an implantable housing, a radiating element having a cross section larger than the feed, and a return coupling the radiating element to a conductive surface of the implantable housing. The radiating element can have a height above the top surface of the implantable housing, creating a capacitance between the radiating element and the conductive surface of the implantable housing configured to counteract the inductance of the capacitively loaded loop antenna.

Abstract: Near-field energy transmitters for charging a rechargeable power source of an implantable medical device (IMD). In some cases, the transmitter may include an output driver that may drive a transmit coil such that near-field energy is transmitted to the IMD at a determined frequency. In some cases, the IMD may include a receiving coil that may capture the near-field energy and then convert the near-field energy into electrical energy that may be used to recharge the rechargeable power source. Since the rechargeable power source does not have to maintain sufficient energy stores in a single charge for the entire expected life of the IMD, the power source itself and thus the IMD may be made smaller while still meeting device longevity requirements.
