Patent number: 5752977Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting information-encoded, telemetry signals percutaneously between an implanted medical device and an external device as telemetry RF pulses which are modulated in pulse position and/or in pulse width within a telemetry frame comprising at least a telemetry frame boundary RF pulse and a telemetry frame data RF pulse. Data to be transmitted in a given telemetry frame is encoded into a PPM code for positioning at least certain telemetry RF pulses at pulse positions of the telemetry frame and a PWM code for establishing the pulse widths of at least certain telemetry RF pulses of the telemetry frame. The telemetry frame is formatted from the PPM code, and the telemetry RF pulses are generated at the formatted pulse positions within the telemetry frame. The pulse widths of the telemetry RF pulses are controlled in accordance with the PWM code for the certain telemetry RF pulses.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1997Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: John J.

Patent number: 5464435Abstract: A multi-function implantable medical device having a plurality of microprocessors therein. The device, which may be capable of functioning as a pacemaker, cardioverter, and defibrillator, is equipped with two or more processors, which may be configured in a master/slave, peer, or other type of relationship. In one embodiment, primary device functions to be performed continuously are allocated to a dedicated, master processor, while advanced functions that may be only periodically required, are allocated among one or more slave processors. In this way, processing in the device is not limited to the relatively short refractory periods as in prior devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1994Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventor: Robert A.

Patent number: 5344430Abstract: An implantable defibrillator provided with a plurality of defibrillation electrodes, which may be reconfigured to define a plurality of defibrillation pathways. The device is capable of measuring the impedance along a selected defibrillation pathway, during delivery of an impedance pulse, and monitoring the success or failure of the pulse to accomplish defibrillation or cardioversion. In response to a detected failure to accomplish cardioversion in conjunction with a measured change of impedance of greater than a predetermined amount, a new defibrillation pathway is selected, which may employ some or all of the electrodes employed to define the original impedance pathway. The device also includes apparatus for varying the relative amplitude of defibrillation pulses applied to individual electrodes used in sequential or simultaneous, multiple electrode pulse regimens, in order to equalize current distribution, in response to measured pathway impedances.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1993Date of Patent: September 6, 1994Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Gary L.
