Embodiment Construction

[0063] Such as figure 1 As illustrated in (a), the invention comprises: (A) an external element (10) comprising an external housing characterized by a main axis Z1 and containing an external electronic unit; and (B) an implantable medical device (20), said implantable medical device (for being) implanted under the skin of a patient, and comprising an inner housing characterized by a minor axis Z2.

[0064] In order to allow alignment of the external element relative to the implantable medical device such that the major axis Z1 and the minor axis Z2 are coaxial, the implantable medical device further comprises a light source (22) positioned such as to emit A beam of light that is coaxial with the minor axis Z2 and of wavelength and intensity sufficient to transmit through the tissue and skin of the implanted medical device separating it from the outside when implanted under the patient's skin. On the other hand, the external components are provided with:

Abstract

The present invention relates to a kit of parts and system for centering an external element relative to an implantable medical device, said kit of parts comprising: an implantable medical device (20), said implantable medical device being implanted under the patient's skin, and comprising an inner housing provided with a light source (22) positioned such as to emit a light beam coaxial with the minor axis Z2, perpendicular to the skin, an outer element (10), the outer element Including: a number of N>2 photodetectors (12a-12d), to form N edges, a polygon perpendicular to the main axis Z1; The energy each of the sensors receives from the light beam emitted by the light source indicates how the external element is to be displaced on the patient's skin surface in order to utilize the The secondary axis Z2 is coaxial to the primary axis Z1 to position the external elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system comprising an implantable medical device which, when implanted, must cooperate percutaneously with an external element. In particular, the present invention relates to such a system that provides a simple and effective solution for optimal alignment of an external element with an implanted medical device that, when implanted in the patient's skin When down, the exact position is optically invisible where the two can work together optimally. A preferred type of cooperation between the external element and the implanted medical device is the exchange of electromagnetic waves between the transmitter and receiver for wireless transfer of energy or information / instructions. Background technique [0002] Many types of implantable medical devices exist and have various functions. Once the implantable medical device is implanted, it must cooperate with external elements to continue its function. For example, a reser...
