Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an antenna which can be packaged in an implantable medical device and connected to a hybrid circuit of the implantable medical device through a feed-through component to achieve far-field communication between the implantable medical device and an in vitro remote device, and is suitable for medical instruments and clinical fields. Background Art
[0002] Implantable medical devices (implants) are widely available to provide diagnostic or therapeutic capabilities. Three types of active implantable products, including implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs), implantable pacemakers (Cardiac Pacemakers), leadless implantable pacemakers, subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (SICDs), and various tissue, organ, and nerve stimulators or sensors, generally require doctors or professionals to use an external programmer to achieve wireless communication with the implant stimulator to complete data transmission, implant software upgrades, emergency stop and other possible functions. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the efficiency and quality of wireless communication, improve the efficiency of wireless transmission, and avoid communication problems or failures.
[0003] The traditional communication method uses inductive near-field coupling to perform wireless communication at a distance of several centimeters. The disadvantages of this method are: the communication distance is too short, the usage is limited and the data rate is low, which is generally thousands or tens of kilobits.
[0004] With the advancement of technology, remote communication between implant circuits and external programmers and other remote control devices has become possible, and is increasingly being used in equipment control, data transmission, and real-time monitoring. Implants and external devices can communicate at a distance of several meters. As one of the hardware foundations of communication, the implanted antenna is placed in the connector outside the shell, which ensures that the energy radiated by the antenna is not absorbed by the metal shell and is conducted to the maximum extent.
[0005] As circuits and structures become more integrated and miniaturized, the physical space of antennas is limited. Generally speaking, the communication distance is related to the radiation efficiency / gain of the antenna, the transmission power of the transmitting antenna, and the sensitivity of the receiving antenna. The efficiency / gain of the antenna is positively correlated with the size of the antenna. In order to maximize the antenna efficiency and increase the maximum transmission distance, designers have proposed various solutions. For example, modify the communication frequency and decoding method so that the system has better sensitivity to the signal under the same hardware conditions; or try to design an antenna with better directionality in the hope of achieving better efficiency in a certain direction; or add a matching network to achieve smaller return loss and better radiation efficiency, which can achieve a longer transmission distance at a specific frequency. These methods are usually undesirable because they either deviate from the communication frequency band allowed by the implant in the regulations in actual situations, or require additional requirements during surgery, or it is difficult to maintain the stability of communication in a changing environment, and increase the number of devices required.
[0006] Generally speaking, in order to achieve a relatively ideal antenna efficiency, the total length of the antenna needs to be at least one quarter to one half of a wavelength. Reducing the antenna length will reduce the radiation impedance of the antenna, making it more difficult to match the antenna with the source end and to couple with the air impedance, thereby significantly reducing the antenna efficiency. This example proposes a solution to increase the effective radiation efficiency of the antenna. The antenna is bent multiple times in three-dimensional space and coupled with the shell to obtain better radiation capability. Summary of the invention

[0037] The antenna is connected to the internal circuit board of the implanted medical device through an integral structure composed of a circular arc segment and a plane segment, so as to realize the far-field communication between the implanted medical device and the external remote device. The antenna should be encapsulated inside the implanted medical device. Since the length of the antenna is positively correlated with the sensitivity of the antenna to transmit and receive signals, the length of the antenna should be as long as possible to enhance the signal transmission sensitivity of the antenna. The width and thickness of the antenna can be appropriately adjusted according to the applicable implanted medical device. The width and thickness of the antenna should be determined according to the fixing method. The antenna of the present invention can be fixed by appropriately widening any one or several sections on the antenna main structure and selecting an appropriate method. Common fixing methods of the antenna include: mechanical structure fixing by punching, glue bonding, bolt connection, welding, riveting, interference fit between the shaft and the hole, transition fit between the shaft and the hole, clearance fit, key connection and then tightening with threads, etc. The antenna of the present invention can also widen any section on the main body, and punch holes on the widened section surface, the number of holes is 0 to 10, the hole size can be adjusted in combination with the size of the specific medical device, and the holes of the antenna are used to fix the antenna in the ICD head. The fixing method can be selected through glue bonding, bolt connection, welding, riveting, interference fit between the shaft and the hole, transition fit between the shaft and the hole, clearance fit, key connection and then tightening with threads, etc.
[0038] Implantable medical devices (implants) are commonly used to provide diagnostic or therapeutic capabilities. Three types of active implantable products, including implantable cardiac defibrillators, implantable heart monitors, implantable pacemakers, leadless implantable pacemakers, subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators, and various tissue, organ and nerve stimulators or sensors, generally require doctors or professionals to use an external programmer to achieve wireless communication with the implant stimulator to complete data transmission, implant software upgrades, emergency stop and other possible functions. This embodiment takes ICD as an example to illustrate the working scheme of the antenna in an implantable medical device.
[0039] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the appearance structure of ICD100 and the relative positions of its components in the heart when implanted in the heart. ICD consists of four parts: device housing 105, hybrid circuit in the device housing, antenna and feedthrough assembly. The antenna is encapsulated in the feedthrough assembly of the ICD head structure 107, and the feedthrough assembly not only encapsulates the antenna feedthrough, but also the wire feedthrough. See the wire feedthrough Figure 5In the ICD head structure, the wire feedthrough is connected to the wire 115, and the ICD main circuit board is connected to the heart through the antenna to sense the ECG signal parameters or perform treatment by clicking. The inside of the device shell usually includes a power supply, a capacitor, and a hybrid circuit, and the hybrid circuit is usually implemented by a chip through program coding. The function of the ICD can be realized in two ways. One is the automatic regulation inside the ICD body, which does not require manual triggering and control and can be realized automatically. The other is to send a communication signal 185 through an external program-controlled device 190. The external program-controlled device of the ICD is generally a program controller, a patient assistant or other device that can issue instructions to it or sense its internal signals. The communication method between the ICD and the external program-controlled device 190 can be one or more of wired communication, Bluetooth, WIFI, LTE or CDMA and other wireless communication networks.

The lead 115 is composed of a coil 118, an electrode 120A, and an electrode 120B. The coil 118 is connected to the ICD body through a connector 107. The function of the coil is to achieve the purpose of sensing or treatment through discharge. The electrode 120A and the electrode 120B sense the signal parameters of the cardiac event. The electrode 120B is also called a spiral head, and contains a spiral coil inside. The electrode spiral 120A on the lead is rotated and wound inside the insulating material outside the lead before use. It can be unscrewed from the other end of the lead before implantation into the human heart, so that the electrode end 120A of the lead is fixed to the myocardial tissue inside the heart. The electrode lead needs to be coated with insulating materials such as silicone, polyurethane or epoxy resin.

The antenna 606 is connected to the circuit board implanted inside the medical device, so that the antenna is connected to the circuit inside the device to play a wireless communication function. Each wire coil 604 is connected to the hybrid circuit inside the device housing 602 one by one through the wire 614. Usually, the coil of the wire connected to the hybrid circuit is designed to a fixed range area, so that all the wires can be packaged together. The hybrid circuit is located in the head of the medical device body, and the hybrid circuit coils are separated by a silicone insulator 608. A silicone insulator is designed between every two wire coils 604 to prevent the connection between the wires from causing a short circuit in the device. 620 is a ground wire, which grounds the circuit board inside the device to form a loop for wireless signal transmission.
