Implantable Biotelemetry Device
First Claim
20. A system for in vivo monitoring of biotelemetry data for a living being, the system comprising:
- a biotelemetry device implanted in the living being, said biotelemetry device operable to communicate via radio communication with a monitor and with another biotelemetry device, and comprising;
a waterproof housing completely encasing the implantable device, the waterproof housing constructed from a material with chemical and fatigue resistance plus thermal stability and that is insoluble to all common solvents for placement in a living being;
a radio frequency modem operable at a low radio frequency not exceeding one megahertz, said radio frequency modem comprising a full duplex transmitter and receiver;
an antenna operatively coupled with the radio frequency modem;
at least one sensor that detects biotelemetry data;
a fully programmable microprocessor operatively coupled with the radio frequency modem, and operable to transmit data received from the at least one sensor;
a memory operatively coupled with the programmable microprocessor, said memory comprising identification data for identifying the implantable device; and
a connector for a power source to power the programmable microprocessor; and
a monitor comprising a display for presenting the biotelemetry data detected by the at least one sensor.
