20090318998 | CONFIGURATION AND METHOD FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DATA OF A PLURALITY OF PROGRAMMABLE PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES - The invention relates to a configuration and a method for the management of data of a plurality of programmable personal medical devices. The configuration comprises a first plurality of personal devices, a second plurality of patient devices each calibrated to at least one personal device, a third plurality of programming devices each calibrated to at least one personal device, a central management unit, a service center, and a management database. The patient devices and/or the programming devices are controlled using management data, upon establishment of the existence of a communication between the management unit and the patient device and/or a programming device, on the basis of this establishment and on the basis of stored management data, specific management data being transmitted to the patient device and/or programming device. | 12-24-2009 |
20110249381 | MINI IMPLANT - The invention relates to a mini implant, including a housing made of biocompatible, electrically insulating plastic and an electric circuit including electronic components, at least some of which are connected to electrically conductive leads having biocompatible surfaces. One or more of the leads is disposed on inner surfaces of the housing, so that the housing effectively acts as a printed circuit board. | 10-13-2011 |
20110257814 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATION WITH A MEDICAL IMPLANT AND A MACHINE - A safety system comprising an implant, a control device, and a machine. The machine has a control unit which is designed to allow operation of the machine only when a unique identifier has been received, and to set an operating mode of the machine as a function of the received suitability index. The implant is designed to detect physiological data of an implant wearer, and to either generate a suitability index based on detected physiological data and transmit the suitability index to the control device, or to transmit the physiological data itself to the control device. | 10-20-2011 |
20120023049 | OPERATING ABILITY MONITORING SYSTEM - An operating ability monitoring system that includes a person-dependent acceleration sensor, a telemetry unit, and an evaluation unit, wherein the person-dependent acceleration sensor and the telemetry unit may be worn by and/or implanted in a machine operator and connected to the evaluation unit, and wherein the evaluation unit is configured to receive acceleration values originating from the person-dependent acceleration sensor and sensor values originating from a further sensor that reflects the movements and/or acceleration of a vehicle or moving machine and to evaluate them by comparing the acceleration values from the person-dependent acceleration sensor to the sensor values associated with the vehicle or moving machine. | 01-26-2012 |
20120158097 | IMPLANTABLE DEVICE - An implantable medical device having at least one functional lead which extends longitudinally, wherein the functional lead is connected to an electrode pole for the purpose of discharging therapeutic signals or detecting diagnostic signals, wherein the functional lead has a current limiting device in one longitudinal section, wherein the current limiting device has a first and a second current limiter which are switched in parallel, and wherein each current limiter is configured to prevent electrical current in the electrical lead from exceeding a pre-specified maximum value. | 06-21-2012 |
20120220879 | Catheter and Catheter Arrangement - A catheter, in particular an ablation catheter, comprising force sensors integrated in a distal section, which are designed and disposed to measure the magnitude and direction of an external force acting on the distal section, and which can be connected to a signal processing unit for the combined processing of measurement signals, wherein a single FBG fiber fastened in a sensor holder is provided in the catheter and comprises three force sensor regions forming the force sensors which interact for the combined processing of measurement signals. | 08-30-2012 |
20130013016 | MEDICAL IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR SECURE IMPLANT COMMUNICATION - An implantable medical device includes a telemetry unit wirelessly receiving data signals and control commands; a control unit connected to the telemetry unit; and a comparator unit which compares data signals received via the telemetry unit with data signals generated in or detected by the implantable medical device. Each of the data signals represents specific features, e.g., patient characteristics. The comparator unit generates a release signal if data signals received via the telemetry unit represent one or more features that are similar, according to a specified similarity measure, to one or more features represented by data signals generated in or detected by the implantable medical device. The control unit executes control commands received via the telemetry unit, or receives control commands via the telemetry unit, in response to such a release signal (or, in the absence of the release signal, does not execute or receive control commands). | 01-10-2013 |
20130072772 | Electrode Catheter Device - An electrode catheter device, including a conductor structure having at least one electrode, current measuring means for measuring a current induced in the conductor structure by an external electromagnetic field, wherein the current measuring means is designed for the local current measurement, in particular, current intensities and phases in the at least one electrode or a predetermined region of the conductor structure, and is connected to a signal transmission channel that has no interaction with the external electromagnetic field. | 03-21-2013 |
