    摘要: An RF antenna flexible circuit interconnect is disclosed with unique micro connectors. The RF antenna flexible circuit interconnect further includes a planer flexible body having an embedded RF transmission line with a first end and a second end. A first antenna micro connector is electrically coupled to the first end of the RF transmission line and a second antenna micro connector is electrically coupled to the second end of the RF transmission line. Each of the first and second antenna micro connectors include an antenna micro connector housing and an antenna central contact socket securely positioned within the antenna micro connector housing. The antenna central contact socket may also include inward bending fingers and may be designed to engage a pin that is inserted into the central contact socket.

    摘要: An implantable medical device (“IMD”) is provided having an antenna and an RF telemetry module for far field telemetry communications arranged on an exterior of the IMD housing, such that telemetry signal processing may be performed on the exterior of the housing. One or more feedthrough conductive paths extend through the housing to communicatively couple the RF module to circuitry within the housing. In this manner RF module is arranged entirely external to the housing, such that only power and/or low frequency data bit signals are required to be passed through the feedthrough conductive path. This allows the feedthrough conductive path to be filtered to prevent undesired interference signals (e.g., electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals) from entering the housing through the feedthrough conductive path coupled to the RF module. In some embodiments, the antenna and RF module are formed in an integrated assembly attachable to an exterior portion of the housing.

    摘要: A remote programming method is provided for safe and secure programming of a medical device at a remote location. A centralized programming instrument for use by a clinician or third party is provided with a network communication connection with a remote external medical device, such as a home programmer or monitor. The external medical device is located in the vicinity of a patient having an implantable medical device (IMD) and is in bi-directional telemetric communication with the IMD to allow instructions received from the centralized programming instrument to be transferred to the IMD. The remote programming method used for transferring information between the central programming instrument and an IMD includes measures to promote safe and secure remote programming of the IMD, which measures may include authorization requirements, programming condition requirements, implementation of programmed data requirements, and maintenance of a remote programming log.

    摘要: A device for use in communication with an implantable medical device. The device is provided with a spatial diversity antenna array mounted to a housing and an RF transceiver operating at defined frequency, coupled to the antenna alray. The antenna array comprises two antennas spaced a fraction of the wavelength of the defined frequency from one another, each antenna including two antenna elements mounted to the housing and located oithogonal to one another. Selection of which of the antennas is employed is accomplished by an device controller, responsive to the quality of the signals received by the antennas.
