摘要： Structures and methods relating to electrodes for incorporation into a feedthrough with a profile adapted for subcutaneous sensing of physiologic and cardiac signals. Electrode assemblies are adapted for integration with feedthrough to enable maximal electrode spacing, minimal myopotential electrical noise and provide reliable insulation from the IMD housing. Various structures and manufacturing processes are implemented to provide a large sensing surface with a low profile. The subcutaneous sensing electrode assembly provides a leadless sensing system and further enhances installation and follow-up procedures.

摘要： A capacitive filtered feedthrough assembly is formed in a solid state manner to employ highly miniaturized conductive paths each filtered by a discoid capacitive filter embedded in a capacitive filter array. A non-conductive, co-fired metal-ceramic substrate is formed from multiple layers that supports one or a plurality of substrate conductive paths and it is brazed to a conductive ferrule, adapted to be welded to a case, using a conductive, corrosion resistant braze material. The metal-ceramic substrate is attached to an internally disposed capacitive filter array that encloses one or a plurality of capacitive filter capacitor active electrodes each coupled to a filter array conductive path and at least one capacitor ground electrode. Each capacitive filter array conductive path is joined with a metal-ceramic conductive path to form a feedthrough conductive path. Bonding pads are attached to the internally disposed ends of each feedthrough conductive path, and corrosion resistant, conductive buttons are attached to and seal the externally disposed ends of each feedthrough conductive path. A plurality of conductive, substrate ground paths are formed extending through the co-fired metal-ceramic substrate between internally and externally facing layer surfaces thereof and electrically isolated from the substrate conductive paths. The capacitor ground electrodes are coupled electrically to the plurality of conductive, substrate ground paths and to the ferrule.

摘要： A filtered feedthrough that does not block passage of gas in a helium leak test and enables testing of the hermeticity of the feedthrough while inhibiting high voltage arcing is disclosed in single filtered feedthrough and multiple filtered feedthrough array configurations. Each filtered feedthrough comprises a ferrule, an insulator, a feedthrough pin, a filter element, and a pre-formed insulative barrier or spacer located in an interior space between the feedthrough insulator and the filter element rather than a non-conductive adhesive filling the interior space. A gas flow path or pathway extends from the interior space to the exterior of the feedthrough bypassing each filter element. Any leak test gas applied in a hermeticity test and passing through defects in the feedthrough insulator or its attachment to the feedthrough pin or ferrule enters the interior space. The gas pathway extends from an interior space through one or more side wall hole of the ferrule and/or through one or more gap between the ferrule interior surface and the outer surface of the filter element.
