摘要: Disclosed is an implantable device for lead offset determination, comprising first and second electrode leads. A stimulus is delivered from one lead to tissue, and a signal is sensed from the tissue by the other lead. The sensed signal is processed to produce a measure of a stimulus artefact present in the signal. The stimulus artefact measure is used to produce a measure of an offset between the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead, such as by applying a distance-squared. analytical model to measures of stimulus artefact obtained from at least two sense electrodes. And/or, a compound action potential evoked by the stimulus is sensed from neural tissue, a latency of the evoked compound action potential is measured, and a measure of an offset between the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead is produced from the latency.

摘要: A method of applying a neural stimulus with an implanted electrode array involves applying a sequence of stimuli configured to yield a therapeutic effect while suppressing psychophysical side effects. The stimuli sequence is configured such that a first stimulus recruits a portion of the fibre population, and a second stimulus is delivered within the refractory period following the first stimulus and the second stimulus being configured to recruit a further portion of the fibre population. Using an electrode array and suitable relative timing of the stimuli, ascending or descending volleys of evoked responses can be selectively synchronised or desynchronised to give directional control over responses evoked.

摘要: This disclosure relates to implantable neuro stimulation devices with a feedback loop to control an amount of energy delivered into a neural tissue based on a measured evoked neural response. Stimulation electrodes deliver stimulation energy to neural tissue and a stimulator comprises a microprocessor and program memory with program code, which causes the microprocessor to perform closed-loop control of the stimulation energy based on a feedback signal that is indicative of an evoked neural response. A charge monitor monitors the delivery of energy to the stimulation electrodes by determining an amount of charge delivered by the stimulation electrodes and connected to the stimulator to provide a status signal indicative of the charge delivered to the stimulator. The device adjusts the control of the stimulation energy in response to the status signal from the charge monitor indicating undesirable charge delivery to the stimulation electrodes.

摘要: This disclosure relates to a device for applying a neural stimulus. A battery supplies electrical energy at a battery voltage and an electrode applies the electrical energy to neural tissue. A circuit measures the nervous response of the tissue and a voltage converter receives the electrical energy from the battery and controls a voltage applied to the electrode based on the measured nervous response of the tissue. This direct voltage control is energy efficient because losses across a typical current mirror are avoided. Further, the control based on the measured nervous response leads to automatic compensation of impedance variation due to in-growth or change in posture. As a result, the stimulation results in a desired neural response.

摘要: An electrode assembly for an active implantable medical device can be delivered by catheter but expands to become a paddle electrode once implanted. The electrode assembly comprises a support member carrying wires for electrically connecting a control unit to electrodes of the electrode assembly. At least one, and usually two resilient deformable paddle wings are mounted to the support member. The paddle wings can be furled close to the support member under a deformation force to permit implantation via an introducer. The paddle wings resiliently unfurl away from the support member upon release of the deformation force. The paddle wings bear rows and columns of electrodes, and the electrode assembly as a whole has sufficient longitudinal rigidity for implantation via an introducer.

摘要: This disclosure relates to implantable neuro stimulation devices with a feedback loop to control an amount of energy delivered into a neural tissue based on a measured evoked neural response. Stimulation electrodes deliver stimulation energy to neural tissue. A microprocessor performs closed-loop control of the stimulation energy based on a feedback signal that is indicative of an evoked neural response. A supervisor is connected to the feedback signal and detects malfunction of the stimulator based on the feedback signal. The supervisor is also connected to the stimulator to provide a status signal to the stimulator and changes the status signal to indicate malfunction upon detecting malfunction based on the feedback signal. The microprocessor adjusts the control of the stimulation energy in response to the status signal from the supervisor indicating malfunction.
