    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: 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: 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.
