    摘要: A wireless charger for inductively charging a rechargeable battery of an implantable pulse generator (IPG) is provided. The charging coil in the charger is wirelessly coupled to a receiving coil of the IPG to charge the rechargeable battery. The alignment circuit continuously detects a reflected impedance of the charging coil through a reflected impedance sensor, and controls a vibrator to output a tactile signal which is indicative of the alignment of the charging coil to the receiving coil based on the detected reflected impedance. Advantageously, the tactile feedback to the patient provides an optimal way to indicate the extent of the charger's alignment with the IPG.

    摘要: An example of an implantable neuromodulation device includes a bioabsorbable electrode and an elongate bioabsorbable support structure carrying the electrode. The support structure is configured to expand in a direction perpendicular to its length so as to move the electrode into contact with a wall of a naturally occumng lumen of a human patient. The electrode is electrically energizable to modulate a nerve within tissue at or otherwise proximate to the wall of the lumen. An example of a neuromodulation method using the neuromodulation device includes locating the neuromodulation device at a treatment site within the lumen and deploying the neuromodulation device into an expanded treatment state at the treatment site. The method further includes reducing obstruction of blood flow through the lumen after deploying the neuromodulation device and then wirelessly energizing the electrode from an extracorporeal energy source.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises a communication channel comprising a plurality of disparate sequential communication links configured to facilitate bi-direction communication between an implantable medical device (IMD) and a programmer. A transceiver is configured to communicate with the programmer via a first communication link of the plurality of disparate communication links. A telemetry device is configured to communicate with the IMD via a second communication link of the plurality of disparate communication links. A third communication link communicatively couples the transceiver and the telemetry device. A power source is coupled to the transceiver and to the telemetry apparatus. An operational status of at least the first and second communication links can be individually determined in real-time.

    摘要: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for wireless power transfer utilizing a midfield source and implant. In one variation, a midfield source may be realized by a patterned metal plate composed of one of more subwavelength structures. These midfield sources may manipulate evanescent fields outside a material (e.g., tissue) to excite and control propagating fields inside the material (e.g., tissue) and thereby generate spatially confined and adaptive energy transport in the material (e.g., tissue). The energy may be received by an implanted device, which may be configured for one or more functions such as stimulation, sensing, or drug delivery.
