    摘要: Various techniques are described for periodically performing a calibration routine to calibrate a low-power system clock within an implantable medical device (IMD) based on a high accuracy reference clock also included in the IMD. The system clock is powered continuously, and the reference clock is only powered on during the calibration routine. The techniques include determining a clock error of the system clock based on a difference between frequencies of the system clock and the reference clock over a fixed number of clock cycles, and adjusting a trim value of the system clock to compensate for the clock error. Calibrating the system clock with a delta-sigma loop, for example, reduces the clock error over time. This allows accurate adjustment of the system clock to compensate for errors due to trim resolution, circuit noise and temperature.

    摘要: An improved design for subcutaneous monitors that addresses the problem caused by bubbles of air may remain in the pocket in which the device is implanted. As implantable monitors and their associated electrodes are reduced in size, these bubbles may in some cases cover one or both electrodes, interfering with sensing of the ECG signal. The invention addresses this problem by configuring the electrodes to increase the pressure of the electrodes against the tissue above the electrodes relative to the pressures exerted by the adjacent outer facing surfaces of the device.

    摘要: An ostomy bag for receiving waste from a patient's stoma. The ostomy bag may include a finger probe for allowing a user to manually manipulate the stoma to clear blockages of the stoma. The ostomy bag may also include a stoma port for attachment to the patient's skin surrounding the stoma. A mating collar on the ostomy bag sealingly attaches the ostomy bag to the stoma port using a convenient quarter turn connection.
