Apr 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/098266
Inventors:
Peter M. Jacobson - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
Nanostim, Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/365, A61N 1/362
US Classification:
607 18, 607 32, 607 21, 607 30, 607 19
Abstract:
A leadless cardiac pacemaker comprises a housing, a plurality of electrodes coupled to an outer surface of the housing, and a pulse delivery system hermetically contained within the housing and electrically coupled to the electrode plurality, the pulse delivery system configured for sourcing energy internal to the housing, generating and delivering electrical pulses to the electrode plurality. The pacemaker further comprises an activity sensor hermetically contained within the housing and adapted to sense activity and a processor hermetically contained within the housing and communicatively coupled to the pulse delivery system, the activity sensor, and the electrode plurality, the processor configured to control electrical pulse delivery at least partly based on the sensed activity.

Biostimulator Circuit With Flying Cell

US Patent:
2014003, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/956946
Inventors:
Alan Ostroff - Pleasanton CA, US
Peter M. Jacobson - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
Nanostim, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/375
US Classification:
607 9
Abstract:
A leadless cardiac pacemaker is provided which can include any number of features. In one embodiment, the pacemaker can include a tip electrode, pacing electronics disposed on a p-type substrate in an electronics housing, the pacing electronics being electrically connected to the tip electrode, an energy source disposed in a cell housing, the energy source comprising a negative terminal electrically connected to the cell housing and a positive terminal electrically connected to the pacing electronics, wherein the pacing electronics are configured to drive the tip electrode negative with respect to the cell housing during a stimulation pulse. The pacemaker advantageously allows p-type pacing electronics to drive a tip electrode negative with respect to the can electrode when the can electrode is directly connected to a negative terminal of the cell. Methods of use are also provided.
