Abstract: A wireless power transfer system and devices that are configured to perform techniques to detect a single fault in primary processing circuitry by using second, independent processing circuitry. The techniques may include calculating and verifying an integrated output power dose. Verifying the integrated output power dose may include, for example, secondary processing circuitry calculating the integral of power delivered over a predetermined time duration and compares the calculated integral to an expected integral dose curve stored at a memory location accessible by the secondary processing circuitry. The detection techniques may also include determining a maximum output power profile. The secondary processing circuitry may receive a commanded output power target from the primary processing circuitry and compare the commanded output power to the maximum allowed output power vs. time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved user experience with rechargers for implantable medical devices. An external charging device for providing power to a rechargeable implantable device can determine a firmware state of the external charging device during recharging of the rechargeable implantable device, display a searching indication using a light indicator when the firmware state is determined to be in a searching state, display a charging indication using the light indicator when the firmware state is determined to be a charging state, and display an error indication using the light indicator when the firmware state is determined to be an error state. An optional user device application can provide complementary graphical user interfaces according to the firmware states.
