Abstract:
A filtered feedthrough assembly for an implantable medical device comprises a ferrule, an electrical insulator coupled to the ferrule by a connection element, a plurality of feedthrough conductors extending through the electrical insulator, a printed circuit board (PCB), and plurality of capacitors. The PCB is coupled to the ferrule or the electrical insulator, and includes one or more ground layers and a plurality of vias. The connection element is electrically coupled to the ground layer through the vias. The capacitor has a ground terminal electrically coupled to the ground layer through at least one of the vias, and a conductor terminal electrically coupled to the feedthrough conductor.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that may comprise a medical device having a header, a core assembly, and a scaffold assembly. The scaffold assembly may be configured to interface with the core assembly and position and support one or more circuit component relative to one or more other circuit components.

Abstract:
An implantable medical device includes a housing with an outer surface that defines a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a battery assembly positioned within the housing between the first end and the second end, a first electrode positioned at or near the first end, a second electrode positioned at or near the second end, integrated circuitry positioned between the first end and the second end and electrically coupled to the first electrode, and an antenna communicatively coupled to the integrated circuitry and configured to wirelessly send and receive data to and from a receiver positioned externally to the implantable medical device.
Abstract:
A ferrule for an implantable medical device (IMD) can employ stamped metal portion including an electrically-conductive ferrule portion. The stamped ferrule portion can be affixed to a wall of a housing of the IMD. The resulting ferrule can provide cost savings or higher production throughput over a ferrule employing machined ferrule portion.
