  • Assemblies and headgear thereof for recharging implantable medical electrical systems
    Patent number: 11369801
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described for use in recharging a power source of a cranially mounted implantable medical device. In one example, a wearable medical device includes a flexible body configured to cover at least a portion of a scalp of a head of a patient. A securing member is connected to the flexible body and configured to extend around a circumference of the head to stabilize the flexible body with respect to the scalp of the patient. A fixation member is configured to mount to a location of the flexible body and couple the flexible body to a recharge coil that is configured to recharge the power source of the cranially-mountable implantable medical device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Shahram Malekkhosravi, Venkat R. Gaddam, Rebecca J. S. Haag, Eric R. Schleppenbach, Brendan J. Young-Dixon, Marshall S. Comisar, Zane K. Thimmesch-Gill, Brent P. Johnson

  • Implant assist apparatus for acoustically enabled implantable medical device
    Patent number: 8934987
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for delivering and positioning an implantable medical device and for evaluating an acoustic communication link are disclosed. An illustrative system includes a catheter adapted to contain an implantable device with a biosensor and an acoustic transducer configured to transmit an acoustic signal, and an implant assist device in acoustic communication with the implantable device via an acoustic communication link. The implant assist device includes an acoustic transducer adapted to receive the acoustic signal transmitted by the implantable medical device, and control/processing circuitry configured to evaluate a performance of the acoustic link.
