Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to medical devices and in particular to a wireless communication system for use with a medical device that includes an antenna structure adapted for coupling to a medical device antenna for use in communication operations perfonned outside an implanted environment.
- a communication link between the implanted device and an external programmer or monitor in order to allow for transmission of commands from the external device to the implanted device and to allow for transmission of stored information and/or sensed physiological parameters from the implanted device to the external programmer.
- communication between an implanted device and an external programmer has been accomplished by means of a telemetry system which includes transceivers located within the implanted medical device and in an external programmer or monitor, each having a radio transmitter/receiver and one or more antennas.
- the implanted device typically includes an antenna located either within the hermetic device housing containing the circuitry, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
- the physician handling the programming head has various tasks to perfonn and positioning of the programming head to a particular location and maintaining that position to maximize received telemetry signal strength is a task that sometimes makes completing the telemetry functions cumbersome.
- the task of positioning of the programming head over the device without breaching the sterile field can become awkward.
- communication systems for implantable medical devices have been proposed in which the programming head is done away with. Communication occurs directly between the programmer or monitor, which may be located some distance from the patient, and the implanted medical device. Such systems are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
- the dielectric constant and conductivity of human tissue is taken into account when designing the telemetry and antenna system.
- Programming and interrogation operations are not limited to occurring after device implant.
- telemetry communication may be required for testing procedures or for verifying or customizing initial programmable parameter values before the IMD is implanted.
- the surgical theater can have multiple RF interferences including other monitoring and medical equipment and RF barriers such as stainless steel surgical carts. These interferences and barriers may make long-range telemetry systems, which have been optimized for operation in the implanted environment, less efficient and reliable when used prior to IMD implantation.
- An IMD telemetry system is needed, therefore, which takes advantage of the elimination of a programming head but still produces consistently reliable and efficient telemetry transmissions regardless of the operating environment.
- the present invention provides a telemetry system for an implantable medical device (IMD) that includes a package antenna adapted for coupling to the IMD antemia when the IMD is outside the implanted environment.
- the package antenna effectively extends the IMD antenna length prior to implantation of the IMD, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of a telemetry link between the IMD and a programmer or monitor prior to IMD implantation.
- the package antenna may be fabricated from any conductive material in the form of conductive wire, tape, ink, foil, film, adhesive or the like, applied to a portion of an IMD packaging assembly or another accessory device or substrate such as a pouch or overlay.
- the package antenna is selected to withstand sterilization procedures such that it may be used within a sterile surgical field.
- the package antemia may be adapted for capacitive coupling or direct electrical coupling to the IMD antenna.
- the package antenna may be provided in a variety of forms, including but not limited to a monopole, dipole, loop, microstrip patch, or slot antenna.
- the package antemia is fixed relative to the packaging tray assembly, pouch, overlay or other substrate on which the package antenna is located.
- the package antenna may be movable, for example, such as a folding or telescoping antenna. The package antenna promotes consistently efficient and reliable telemetry communication between an IMD and a programmer or monitor, regardless of the telemetry environment.

- IMD 10 Prior to implantation, IMD 10 may remain contained within a packaging tray 40, which is typically sterilized with IMD 10 inside such that it may be "dropped" into a sterile operating environment from non-sterile outer packaging material.

- package antenna 30 may be located on packaging tray 40 or an associated tray lid or on a separate pouch or overlay.
- package antenna is used herein to refer to an antenna used to effectively extend the length of an IMD antenna when the IMD not implanted in a patient's body. It is expected that, for convenience, such an antenna will typically be included in a package containing a sterilized IMD and is therefore referred to herein as a "package antenna.” However, the use of this term is not intended to exclude antenna structures that are to be used with an IMD prior to implantation or after explantation and are packaged or provided separately from the IMD with which it will be used.
- One end 32 of package antenna 30 is adapted to be coupled to IMD RF antenna 28, either directly or capacitively.
- Downlink telemetry link 22 and uplink telemetry link 26 may then be established between EMD RF antenna 24 and package antenna 30, which transmits the RF signals to/from IMD RF antenna 28.

- Package antenna 30 is provided with a length proportional to the wavelength of the RF frequency chosen for use in the telemetry system so that it functions as an efficient antemia prior to implantation of IMD 10. In one embodiment, package antenna 30 is provided with an electrical length greater than or equal to one-fourth the RF transmission wavelength. IMD RF antenna 28, when coupled to package antenna 30, functions as a transmission line to transfer energy received/transmitted by package antenna 30 to/from telemetry circuitry enclosed in IMD 10.
- Package antenna 30 may be provided as a continuous structure as shown in Figure 4.

- Figure 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating capacitive coupling between package antenna 30 and IMD RF antenna 28.
- package antenna 30 is adapted for capacitive coupling to IMD RF antenna 28. Capacitive coupling is achieved by positioning coupling end 32 of package antenna 30 in close proximity to IMD RF antenna 28. The optimal coupling distance will depend on the application frequencies.
- the capacitive coupling distance between coupling end 32 and the IMD RF antenna 28 should be approximately 2 mm or less. However, less efficient coupling can be achieved at greater distances if a decrease in antenna gain is desired within the wireless communication system.
- the dimensions and configuration of coupling end 32 will be based on the size of IMD 10, the IMD RF antenna 28 configuration, and the desired transmission efficiency provided by package antenna 30.
- Coupling end 32 is shown here as having a generally circular shape of a particular size relative to IMD 10 but is illustrative of only one possible configuration for establishing capacitive coupling between end 32 and IMD RF antenna 28.
- Package antenna 30 may be mounted or printed on a substrate 36, which may be a portion of a packaging tray or tray lid, pouch or overlay. Upon placing IMD 10 into a packaging tray or pouch or placing a tray lid or other overlay over IMD 10, package antenna 30 is located within some maximum effective distance from IMD RF antenna 28 that establishes capacitive coupling between package antenna 30 and IMD RF antenna 28 as represented by dashed arrow 37. IMD RF antenna 28 is shown located in connector block 18. As such, a feed-through 27 is provided to establish connection to transceiver circuitry enclosed in IMD 10.
- Package antenna 30 is removed from the telemetry system upon IMD implantation by simply removing IMD 10 from the packaging tray, pouch, overlay or other substrate 36 on which package antenna 30 is located.

- Figure 6 is an illustration of one embodiment of a package antenna wherein package antenna 30 is located on a pouch 100 in which IMD 10 may be placed when telemetry functions are required prior to implant or after explant.
- Pouch 100 will typically be formed from a plastic, non-conductive material that preferably withstands sterilization methods used to sterilize IMD 10. Pouch 100 may then be used within a sterile surgical field.
- Package antenna 30 is located on pouch 100 and may be a conductive foil or film laminated or adhered to pouch 100, a conductive ink printed onto pouch 100, or a conductive tape or adhesive adhered to pouch 100.
- Pouch 100 may be packaged with IMD 10 or provided as a separate item available for use during telemetry operations prior to IMD implantation. If telemetry operations are needed outside the implanted environment, IMD 10 may be inserted into pouch 100 as indicated by arrow 102.
- Package antenna 30 is shown as a monopole anteima wherein one end 32 is positioned on pouch 100 such that is will be located in close proximity to IMD RF antenna 28 when IMD 10 is fully inserted into pouch 100 thereby establishing a capacitive coupling between end 32 and IMD RF antenna 28.
