    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: An implantable medical device and method are provided for implant within a patient. The device comprises a case. Radio frequency (RF) communication components are housed within the case. A header is mounted to an exterior surface of the case along an edge of the case. An antenna is coupled to the RF communication components. The antenna has an inverted E shape. The inverted E shaped antenna is within the header. The inverted E shaped antenna includes a conducting arm joined to first, second and third branches that are oriented within the header to extend toward the edge of the case underneath the header. The first branch of the antenna is conductively open and, no more than weakly coupled, with respect to the case. The second branch is located between the first and third branches. The second branch is configured to convey an RF signal feed. The third branch has a shunt to ground connection to the case. The case forms a ground plane for the antenna.

    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: The present disclosure provides an antenna structure for use in an implantable medical device. The antenna structure includes a first antenna configured to receive wireless signals within a first frequency band, a second antenna configured to receive wireless signals within a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band, and a common output connector. The first antenna includes a first end and a second, free end opposite the first end. The second antenna is connected to the first antenna at a location between the first and second ends. The common output connector is disposed at the first end of the first antenna, and is electrically coupled to the first and second antennas such that signals received by the first and second antennas are output through the common output connector.

    摘要: A dual band antenna mounted to a case of an implantable medical device (IMD) for implant within a patient is provided. The dual band antenna includes a first antenna sub-structure (FAS) and a second antenna sub-structure (SAS) each separately tuned to match a corresponding first and second resonant frequency, by adjusting at least one of relative lengths of the FAS and SAS, a capacitance of the FAS, a location of the SAS relative to the FAS and a cross-sectional area of conducting elements forming the components of the antenna. The FAS is formed as an inverted E-shaped antenna having three branches. The first branch of the antenna is capacitive, a second branch provides a radio frequency signal feed and a third branch provides a shunt to ground. The SAS is formed as a mono-pole antenna that is formed integral with, and extends from, the FAS.
