  • Methods for implanting a subcutaneous defibrillator
    Patent number: 8838234
    Abstract: A power supply for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for subcutaneous positioning between the third rib and the twelfth rib and using a lead system that does not directly contact a patient's heart or reside in the intrathoracic blood vessels and for providing anti-tachycardia pacing energy to the heart, comprising a capacitor subsystem for storing the anti-tachycardia pacing energy for delivery to the patient's heart; and a battery subsystem electrically coupled to the capacitor subsystem for providing the anti-tachycardia pacing energy to the capacitor subsystem.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2014
    Assignee: Cameron Health, Inc.

  • Switched capacitor defibrillation circuit
    Publication number: 20030088281
    Abstract: A defibrillator circuit for generating a rectangular waveform across a patient from capacitively stored energy and employing a plurality of capacitors initially chargeable to a common voltage and thereafter sequentially switchable into parallel relation with one another so as to raise the voltage supplied to an H-bridge circuit from a point of decay back to said common voltage.
