    摘要: Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device while the device is implanted in a patient. The recharging system/device in some examples includes a first electrical coil and a second electrical coil configured to generate opposing magnetic fields forming a resultant magnetic field within a recharging envelope located between the coils. A third coil of the implantable medical device may be positioned within the recharging envelope so that the resultant magnetic field is imposed on the third coil, causing electrical energy to be induced in the third coil, the induced electrical energy used to recharge a power source of an implantable medical device coupled to the third coil, and/or to power operation of the implantable medical device.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device while the device is implanted in a patient. The implantable devices in some examples include a multi-axis antenna having a plurality of coil windings arranged orthogonal to one another. The multi-axis antenna configured to generate at least a minimum level of induced current for recharging a power source of the implanted medical device regardless of the orientation of a direction of a magnetic field imposed on the multi-axis antenna relative to an orientation of the implanted medical device and the multi-axis antenna for a given energy level of the imposed magnetic field.

    摘要: In some examples a medical device includes circuitry configured to at least one of sense a physiological parameter of a patient or deliver a therapy to the patient. The medical device may also include a housing configured to house the circuitry, wherein the housing includes a plurality of structural members and an attachment mechanism that joins the plurality of structural members. The attachment mechanism may be configured to suppress induced currents in the housing when the medical device is exposed to a time-varying magnetic field.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device (IMD) while the device is implanted in a patient. The IMD may include a rechargeable battery having a battery housing; a non-metallic substrate attached to the battery housing, wherein the non-metallic substrate and the battery housing form an outer housing of the implantable medical device; control circuitry formed on the non-metallic substrate within the outer housing of the IMD; a receive coil within the outer housing of the IMD, the receive coil configured to receive energy from outside of the outer housing of the IMD; and recharge circuitry within the outer housing of the IMD and coupled to the receive coil, the recharge circuitry configured to receive the energy from the receive coil, and recharge the rechargeable battery using the received energy.
