    摘要: An implantable medical device (IMD) includes an electrode that forms a first snap-fit attachment area and an insulator that forms a through-hole, a second snap-fit attachment area and a third snap-fit attachment area. The second snap-fit attachment area mates with the first snap-fit attachment area of the electrode. The IMD further includes a body including an elongated conductive housing and a feedthrough wire extending therefrom. The body forms a fourth snap-fit attachment area on one end that mates with the third snap-fit attachment area of the insulator such that the feedthrough wire extends through the through-hole of the insulator. The housing encloses at least one of a battery, a sensor, and an electronic circuit. The insulator functions to electrically isolate the electrode from the housing of the body.

    摘要: A system and method are described for testing communication through a patient during implantation using telemetry coupling electrodes on a delivery catheter. In one example, at least two telemetry coupling electrodes may be placed on or within a delivery catheter to test conductive communication with external body electrodes during implantation. In some instances, the telemetry coupling electrodes of the delivery catheter may approximate the spacing of telemetry electrodes on an IMD. In this manner, testing conductively coupled communication with telemetry coupling electrodes of the catheter may be used to mimic the telemetry electrodes on the IMD and determine a target position and/or orientation of an electrode or electrodes of the IMD for successful conductive communication through the body.

    摘要: An implantable medical device system and associated method monitor changes in transimpedance in a body tissue due to changes in cardiac pulsatility. A first dipole is used to deliver a non-stimulating electrical current. The first dipole includes a first electrode and a second electrode adapted to be deployed along a first body location. A second dipole is used to measure a voltage resulting from the non-stimulating electrical current being conducted through a portion of a patient's body. The second dipole includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode different than the first electrode and the second electrode and adapted to be deployed along a second body location spaced apart from the first body location.
