INTERFERENCE MITIGATION FOR IMPLANTABLE DEVICE RECHARGING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a first therapy module implanted within a patient;
a second therapy module implanted within the patient;
a charging device that charges the first therapy module; and
a processor that receives an indication of a presence of the second therapy module and modifies, based on the indication, an operating parameter of the charging device to reduce interference with operation of the second therapy module.

Abstract
A therapy or monitoring system may implement one or more techniques to mitigate interference between operation of a charging device that charges a first implantable medical device (IMD) implanted in a patient and a second IMD implanted in the patient. In some examples, the techniques may include modifying an operating parameter of the charging device in response to receiving an indication that a second IMD is implanted in the patient. The techniques also may include modifying an operating parameter of the second IMD in response to detecting the presence or operation of the charging device.
