Autonomous (leadless) intracardiac implantable medical device with releasable base and fastener element
First Claim
1. An intracorporeal autonomous active medical device, comprising:
- a sealed capsule body having an external shape and containing therein electronic circuitry, anda base comprising a plate having two opposing ends, an outer face and an inner face, an anchoring structure connected to said outer face to anchor said base to a wall of an organ of a patient, said inner face comprising a support for the capsule body and a fastening system to mechanically fasten in a reversible manner said base to said capsule body;
wherein the fastening system comprises at least two projecting tabs disposed in opposition at said two opposing ends of the plate, said projecting tabs being substantially parallel and having opposing faces, said opposing faces defining contact surfaces matching the shape of a corresponding surface of the capsule body for mechanical fastening thereto.

Abstract
A leadless autonomous intracardiac implantable medical device having a releasable fastener system. This autonomous intracorporeal active medical device has two distinct elements connectable together and reversibly separable from one another, with a sealed capsule body (100) housing electronic circuitry (110), and a base (200) comprising a plate (202) having an outer face and an anchoring system on said outer face to anchor the base to a wall of an organ of a patient, and an inner face forming a support for the capsule body and having a fastening system to couple releasably the capsule body to the base. The capsule body comprises on its face turned towards the base at least one projection support (108) on an electrode surface for coming into contact with the wall of the organ of the patient when the capsule body is mounted on the base.
