Interference mitigation for implantable device recharging
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a first therapy module configured to be implanted within a patient;
a second therapy module configured to be implanted within the patient;
a charging device configured to charge the first therapy module; and
a processor configured to receive an indication of a presence of the second therapy module and modify, based on the indication, an operating parameter of the charging device to reduce interference with operation of the second therapy module, wherein the operating parameter comprises a parameter with which the charging device generates or delivers a charging signal to 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.
