НИЗКОЧАСТОТНАЯ ЧРЕЗКОЖНАЯ ТЕЛЕМЕТРИЧЕСКАЯ СВЯЗЬ СИМПЛАНТИРОВАННЫМ МЕДИЦИНСКИМ УСТРОЙСТВОМ

摘要

An implantable medical device advantageously utilizes low frequency (e.g., 100 kHz or below) for telemetry communication with an external control module avoiding power dissipation through eddy currents in a metallic case of an implant and/or in human tissue, thereby enabling smaller implants using a metallic case such as titanium and/or allow telemetry signals of greater strength for implantation to a greater depth.
