Abstract
A percutaneous lead assembly for an active implantable device, the lead assembly comprising a sheath with a plurality of wires extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The wires being adapted to power the active implantable device; the distal end having at least one electrode fixed thereon. The electrodes being in communication with sensor electronics and wherein at least one electrode is on the outer layer of the lead assembly in which the electrode is used to detect at least one of acceleration and electrical signals of an organ.

A percutaneous lead assembly for an active implantable device, the lead assembly comprising;
- a sheath with a plurality of wires extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the plurality of wires are housed in a lumen of the lead assembly;
- the sheath having an outer layer, wherein the outer layer has a weave of reinforcing material;
- the wires being adapted to power the active implantable device;
- the distal end having at least one electrode fixed thereon;
- the electrodes being in communication with sensor electronics;
- and
- wherein the at least one electrode is on the outer layer of the sheath of the lead assembly in which the at least one electrode is used to detect at least one of acceleration and electrical signals of an organ.
