ICD/VAD DEFIBRILLATOR ELECTROMAGNET

摘要

The ICD/VAD defibrillator electromagnet is used with patients who possess either an ICD or a VAD. The electromagnet has a slim, low-profile design and an adhesive pad that allows for proper positioning to patient's chest, a decrease risk for pressure related wounds, and also permits the positioning of the patient in any of multiple planes while in surgery/X-ray without worry about displacement or shifting of the electromagnet. The electromagnet provides protection and safety for patients undergoing surgery involving electrocaurtery as well as, helping patients in X-ray/CT/MRI procedures that produce high magnetic fields that interfere with ICD/VAD proper function.

主权项

1. A defibrillator electromagnet structure for attachment to a patient and providing a magnetic field for communicating with a medically implanted device to activate or deactivate the medically implanted device when an operator activates a power source to supply power to the defibrillator electromagnet structure, the defibrillator electromagnet structure comprising:
a electromagnet comprising a thin wafer and conductive wire wrapped around the thin wafer, the electromagnet becoming active upon the receipt of power from the power source; a cushioning pad encasing the electromagnet; and a controller connected to the electromagnet and to the power source for supplying power to the electromagnet to activate the electromagnet.
