    摘要: A method for producing an implantable medical device (IMD) includes forming a channel along a surface of a housing of the IMD, and depositing a conductive material into the channel to at least partially fill the channel and form an antenna of the IMD on the housing. The method also includes electrically connecting the antenna to communication circuitry contained within the housing to facilitate wireless communication with at least one of a second IMD or an external device.

    摘要: An implantable medical device, external device and method for managing a wireless communication are provided. The IMD includes a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly, with an external device (ED), utilizing a protocol that utilizes multiple physical layers. The transceiver is configured to transmit information indicating that the transceiver is configured with first, second, and third physical layers (PHYs) for wireless communication. The IMD includes memory configured to store program instructions. The IMD includes one or more processors configured to execute instructions to obtain an instruction designating one of the first, second and third PHY to be utilized for at least one of transmission or reception, during a communication session, with the external device and manage the transceiver to utilize, during the communication session, the one of the first, second and third PHY as designated.

    摘要: A medical device and method are provided. The medical device includes a battery, a charge bank configured to store supplemental energy, memory to store program instructions, and device operational circuitry. The device operational circuitry identifies an energy demand (ED) action to be performed by the device operational circuitry in connection with at least one of monitoring a medical characteristic of interest (COI), treating the medical COI, or wirelessly communicating with a separate device. The device operational circuitry obtains an energy consumption estimate for an amount of energy to be consumed by the device operational circuitry in connection with performing the ED action and dispatches a charge instruction to charge the charge bank from the battery with supplemental energy. The device operational circuitry supplies the supplemental energy to the device operational circuitry for performing the ED action in connection with the at least one of monitoring, treating or communicating operations.

    摘要: Implantable cardioverter device (ICD) systems capable of delivering a multi-vector defibrillation shock, and methods for use therewith, are described herein. Such an ICD system can include a defibrillation charge capacitor, a charge circuit, first, second, and third electrodes, switches, a controller, and first, second and third filters. The defibrillation charge capacitor is coupled between a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail. The first filter is coupled between the first and second electrodes, and the second filter is coupled between the second and third electrodes, so that the first and second filters can shunt EMI signals. The third filter is coupled between the first and third electrodes and configured to provide for electrical symmetry when the first, second, and third electrodes are used to deliver a multi-vector defibrillation shock. Such filters, which can be implemented using capacitors, can be used to make the ICD system MRI compatible.
