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; and
a processor that detects charging of the first therapy module by a charging device and modifies an operating parameter of the second therapy module based on the detection of the charging of the first 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.
