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.
Claims14
An implantable medical device, comprising:
- a housing including electronic circuitry;
- a header coupled to the housing and including a core, the core including:
- a bore;
- and
- a connector block opening in communication with the bore;
- a receiving cavity positioned adjacent to the bore;
- a window in communication with the receiving cavity;
- a connector block positioned within the connector block opening and including a first identifier;
- and
- a contact wire extending from the housing, the contact wire including the first identifier and configured to couple to the connector block.
An implantable medical device, comprising:
- a housing including electronic circuitry;
- a header coupled to the housing and including a core having a first face, a second face opposite the first face, a first side wall, and a second side wall opposite the first side wall, the core including:
- a first bore extending from the first side wall toward the second side wall;
- a first connector block opening in communication with the first bore;
- a first receiving cavity extending from the first side wall toward the second side wall, the first receiving cavity positioned adjacent to the first bore;
- and
- a first window extending from the first face to the receiving cavity such that the first window is in communication with the receiving cavity;
- a first connector block positioned within the first connector block opening, wherein the first connector block includes a first identifier;
- and
- a first contact wire extending from the housing, the first contact wire including the first identifier and configured to couple to the first connector block.
