Problems solved by technology

Incorrect connection of the lead into the hole and wire crossings can cause errors such as stimulation or sensing of the wrong ventricle, incomplete or intermittent connectivity between the lead and the IMD, or ineffective defibrillation therapy
Fixed bug that could lead to extended program duration
In some cases, correction of errors may require subsequent surgical correction, thereby increasing the risk of patient morbidity and mortality

example 1

[0083] Example 1 may include a subject matter including an implantable medical device, this medical device including: a housing with an electrical circuit; a top cover coupled to the housing and including a core that defines a hole and includes a A first metal mark near a hole; and a guide assembly, the guide assembly includes at least one guide having a distal end and a proximal end, the at least one guide includes a second metal mark, the distal end includes at least one electrode, and The proximal end is received in the hole.

example 2

[0084] Example 2 may include the subject of Example 1, or may be selectively combined with the subject of Example 1 to selectively include a first metal identification and a second metal identification of at least one selected from titanium, tantalum, tungsten, and stainless steel .

example 3

[0085] Example 3 can include the subject matter of one or any combination of Examples 1 or 2, or can be selectively combined with the subject matter of one or any combination of Examples 1 or 2, to selectively include the first identification code containing the first The metal identification and the second metal identification including the second identification code, the first identification code and the second identification code are basically the same.

Abstract

In general, techniques are described for labeling an implantable medical device (IMD). In one example, an IMD can include a housing including electronic circuitry. The IMD can include a header coupled to the housing and includes a core. The core can define a bore and include a first metal label positioned adjacent to the at least one bore. The IMD includes a lead assembly including at least one lead having a distal end and a proximal end, the at least one lead including a second metal label, the distal end including at least one electrode and the proximal end received within the bore.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35U.S.C.§119(e) of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 883,237 filed on September 27, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical field [0003] This document relates generally to medical devices, and in particular to identification for implantable medical devices. Background technique [0004] Implantable medical devices (IMDs) can perform a variety of diagnostic or therapeutic functions. In an example, the IMD may include one or more cardiac function management features, such as monitoring the heart or providing electrical stimulation to the heart or the nervous system. Cardiac function management features can be used, for example, to diagnose or treat the subject in the case of electrical or mechanical abnormalities of the heart. In other examples, examples of IMDs may include pacemakers, automatic implantable cardioverter defi...
