摘要:
External power source, and system and method using such external power source, for an implantable medical device having therapeutic componentry and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the therapeutic componentry. A primary coil is capable of inductively energizing the secondary coil when externally placed in proximity of the secondary coil. A repositionable magnetic core associated with the primary coil is capable of being repositioned by a user of the external power source. An indicator is capable of providing the user with information relative to coupling between the primary coil and the secondary coil as a function of repositioning of the repositionable magnetic core.
摘要:
An external power system, system and method for transcutaneous energy transfer to an implantable medical device having componentry for providing a therapeutic output and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the componentry. The implantable medical device is adapted to implanted at a location in a patient. An external power source has a primary coil contained in a housing. The external power source is capable of providing energy to the implantable medical device when the primary coil of the external power source is placed in proximity of the secondary coil of the implantable medical device. A holder is adapted to be externally positioned with respect to the patient at a spot in proximity of the location of the implantable medical device and secured at the spot. The holder is attachable to the housing after the holder is secured to the patient.
摘要:
A system and method for transcutaneous energy transfer and/or charging in a transverse direction. An external power source having a primary coil being driven at a frequency selectable in the range between eight and twelve kiloHertz contained in a housing. An implantable medical device has componentry for providing a therapeutic output and a secondary coil operatively coupled to the componentry. The external power source is capable of providing energy to the implantable medical device when the primary coil of the external power source is placed in proximity of the secondary coil of the implantable medical device. The external power source has a lateral positional adjustment for the primary coil. The frequency of the external power source is frequency adjustable providing a frequency adjustment. The positional adjustment and the frequency adjustment allows, at least in part, the system to attain an efficiency of energy transfer from the external power source to the implantable medical device of at least thirty percent.
