MEDICAL DEVICE POSITION GUIDANCE SYSTEM WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN A NONINVASIVE DEVICE AND AN INVASIVE DEVICE

摘要

A medical device position guidance system having a noninvasive medical device communicable with an invasive medical device. The system provides outputs useful to assess the position of an invasive medical device in an animal, such as a human. A magnetic field is used to gather information about the position of the invasive device. Radio waves are used to communicate this information between the noninvasive device and the invasive device.
