First Claim
Patent Images
1. A modular implantable device comprising:
- implantable first and second circuits;
the first circuit including a sensor to sense a physiologic parameter and a wireless transmitter circuit to send a wireless communication to the second circuit; and
the second circuit being physically separate from the first circuit, the second circuit including a wireless receiver circuit to receive the wireless communication and including an antitachyarrhythmia therapy circuit to deliver a responsive antitachyarrhythmia therapy.

Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a modular antitachyarrhythmia therapy system. In an example, a modular antitachyarrhythmia system includes at least two separate modules that coordinate delivery an antitachyarrhythmia therapy, such as a defibrillation therapy. In another example, a modular antitachyarrhythmia therapy system includes a sensing module, an analysis module, and a therapy module.

11. A modular device comprising:
-
an implantable first circuit, including a sensor to sense a physiologic parameter, and including a communication or driver circuit to send a communication that includes information derived from the physiologic parameter;
an implantable second circuit, physically separate from the first circuit, including a receiver circuit to receive the communication from the first implantable circuit, a controller circuit to analyze the information derived from the physiologic parameter, and a wireless transmitter circuit to send a wireless therapy instruction; and
an implantable third circuit, physically separate from the second circuit, the third circuit including a wireless receiver to receive the wireless therapy instruction, and including an antitachyarrhythmia therapy circuit to deliver an antitachyarrhythmia therapy. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A modular implantable device comprising:
-
an implantable first defibrillation circuit module configured to deliver a first defibrillation shock;
an implantable second defibrillation circuit module, physically separate from the first defibrillation circuit module, configured to deliver a second defibrillation shock concurrent with the first defibrillation shock; and
a controller circuit configured to direct coordinated delivery of the first and second defibrillation shocks. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
