Coaxial Cable Antenna For Communication With Implanted Medical Devices

View page
US Patent:
6930602, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
Apr 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/423666
Inventors:
Bonnie Dougherty - Minneapolis MN, US
Garry L. Dublin - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
G08B001/08
A61B005/00
H01Q001/00
US Classification:
34053912, 3405391, 3405731, 600301, 607 32, 128903, 343720
Abstract:
A coaxial cable antenna for use in an external device, such as a programmer or monitor, to enhance communication between the external device and an implanted medical device (IMD). The coaxial cable antenna provides the external device with polarization diversity. For example, the coaxial cable antenna includes a first portion and a second portion that are substantially perpendicular to one another. Each of the portions of the coaxial cable antenna has a different polarization orientation, thus providing the programmer with polarization diversity. Further, the external device may include more than one coaxial cable antenna to provide the external device with spatial diversity as well as polarization diversity provided by the coaxial cable antenna design. The coaxial cable antenna configurations reduce problems associated with polarization mismatches, antenna nulls, and multi-path propagation interference.

US Patent:
7016733, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
Apr 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/421179
Inventors:
Garry L. Dublin - Maple Grove MN, US
William D. Verhoef - Andover MN, US
Rodney S. Wallace - Maple Grove MN, US
Len D. Twetan - Excelsior MN, US

Bonnie Dougherty, legal representative - Briggs PA, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/365
US Classification:
607 36
Abstract:
Improved telemetry antennas and methods of fabrication for an implantable medical device (IMD) for use in uplink telemetry (UT) and downlink telemetry (DT) transmissions between the IMD and an external medical device (EMD) are disclosed. A first telemetry antenna element is supported to extend in a first direction along a minor side of the IMD housing by a first header segment, and a second antenna element is supported to extend in a second direction along a second minor side of the IMD housing by a second header segment. The first and second antenna elements are supported to extend apart at substantially 90 to one another, i. e. , substantially orthogonally, in substantially a common plane to optimize UT transmission and DT reception of UHF telemetry signals by at least one of the first and second antenna elements depending upon the mutual spatial orientation with the antenna elements of an EMD antenna.

10/797511
Inventors:
Len D. Twetan - Excelsior MN, US
Piotr Przybyszewski - Coon Rapids MN, US
Garry L. Dublin - Maple Grove MN, US
Gregory J. Haubrich - Champlin MN, US
Andrina J. Hougham - North Oaks MN, US
Andrew J. Ries - Lino Lakes MN, US
David B. Engmark - Bethel MN, US
Gary M. Grose - Brooklyn Park MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 60, 607 32, 607 36, 607 55, 607 56, 607 57, 607156, 128903, 343718, 343824, 343873, 3405277
Abstract:
A telemetry antenna for an implantable medical device includes one or more portions having a non-linear configuration. In some embodiments, the non-linear configuration provides an antenna having a greater antenna length than the linear lengthwise dimension of the antenna structure. In some embodiments, the non-linear configuration is a serpentine pattern.

Optional Telemetry Antenna For Implantable Medical Devices

View page
US Patent:
7319901, Jan 15, 2008
Filed:
Oct 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/248352
Inventors:
Garry L. Dublin - Maple Grove MN, US
William D. Verhoef - Andover MN, US
Rodney S. Wallace - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607 36
Abstract:
An implantable medical device (“IMD”) configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention generally includes a housing, a connector header block coupled to the housing, and an optional telemetry antenna coupled to the header block. The optional antenna assembly is suitably configured to support the intended IMD application (e. g. , the desired telemetry range, the intended IMD implant location, or other practical considerations). The optional antenna assembly may be utilized by itself or in cooperation with a permanent telemetry antenna of the IMD. In one practical embodiment, the optional antenna assembly has a connection end that is compliant with known pacemaker electrode lead standards, which allows the IMD to leverage existing connection methodologies.
