Subcutaneous device
First Claim
1. A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
- a housing;
a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue, wherein the clip comprises;
a top portion that is rigid;
a bottom portion that is rigid; and
a spring portion extending between and connecting the top portion to the bottom portion, wherein the spring portion is configured to force the top portion of the clip down onto the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue;
an electrode that is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue; and
circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the electrode that is configured to sense an electrical signal from the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode;
deliver electrical stimulation to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode; and
/or deliver a signal to a drug pump to provide a targeted or systemic therapeutic drug to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue.

Abstract
A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to a top side of the housing, and an electrode. The clip is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue. The electrode is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue. Circuitry in the housing is in electrical communication with the electrode and is configured to sense an electrical signal from the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode; deliver electrical stimulation to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode; and/or deliver a signal to a drug pump to provide a targeted or systemic therapeutic drug to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue.

21. A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
-
a housing; a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue with top and bottom portions of the clip that are rigid and are positionable on opposite sides of the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue, and that are connected by a spring portion extending between the top and bottom portions; an electrode that is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue; and circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the electrode that is configured to sense an electrical signal from the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode;
deliver electrical stimulation to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue through the electrode; and
/or deliver a signal to a drug pump to provide a targeted or systemic therapeutic drug to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
