  • Adaptive interference reduction during telemetry
    Patent number: 8019433
    Abstract: An implantable medical device has a first module for performing telemetry communications with another device and a second module for delivering a high voltage therapy to a patient. The first module is configured to detect a communication error, and the second module is configured to determine a need for the therapy and to charge a capacitor in response to the need for the therapy. The second module is configured to suspend the capacitor charging in response to receiving a notification from the first module corresponding to detecting a communication error.
    Type: Grant

  • RECOVERY OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SESSION WITH AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20110046698
    Abstract: Techniques are described for recovery of an inadvertently lost communication session between an implantable medical device (IMD) and another device. For example, the IMD or other device may detect loss of the established communication session, attempt to reestablish the communication session on a same channel as the established communication session that was lost, and attempt to reestablish the communication session on an unspecified channel using a telemetry wakeup feature upon the failure to reestablish the communication session on the same channel.
