| 20090012576 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - Header assemblies for coupling one or more cardiac leads to a cardiac stimulator are described. The header assemblies can include a header housing with a lead receiving header bore. The header assemblies can further include a connector assembly injection molded within the header housing and including a connector housing, at least one biasing member and at least one biasing member cover. The connector housing can include a first connector bore aligned with the header bore and at least a second connector bore. The biasing member can be in the form of a coiled spring or bent wire and disposed within the second connector bore such that a portion of the biasing member projects into the first connector bore. In this way, a lead proximal end can be urged against a first connector bore wall. The biasing member cover can secure the biasing member and seal the second connector bore. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20110160805 | IMPLANTABLE ELECTRICAL LEAD INCLUDING A COOLING ASSEMBLY TO DISSIPATE MRI INDUCED ELECTRODE HEAT - An implantable medical device lead includes an insulative lead body, an outer conductive coil extending through the lead body, and an inner conductive coil extending coaxially with the outer conductive coil. The outer conductive coil is coupled to a proximal electrode at a distal end of the outer conductive coil, and the inner conductive coil is coupled to a distal electrode at a distal end of the inner conductive coil. A cooling assembly is thermally coupled to the distal electrode to dissipate heat generated at the distal electrode during exposure to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fields. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20120046707 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENSING EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELDS IN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES - Systems and methods for sensing external magnetic fields in implantable medical devices are provided. One aspect of this disclosure relates to an apparatus for sensing magnetic fields. An apparatus embodiment includes a sensing circuit with at least one inductor having a magnetic core that saturates in the presence of a magnetic field having a prescribed flux density. The apparatus embodiment also includes an impedance measuring circuit connected to the sensing circuit. The impedance measuring circuit is adapted to measure impedance of the sensing circuit and to provide a signal when the impedance changes by a prescribed amount. According to an embodiment, the sensing circuit includes a resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit. The impedance measuring circuit includes a transthoracic impedance measurement module (TIMM), according to an embodiment. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein. | 02-23-2012 |
