Claims16
A medical device comprising:
- a hybrid circuitry assembly;
- a core assembly housing having an inside surface and configured to enclose the hybrid circuitry assembly;
- a tag/getter assembly configured to be situated adjacent the inside surface of the core assembly housing, the tag/getter assembly comprising an identification tag and a hydrogen getter, the identification tag comprising a material capable of detection in an x-ray image;
- and
- wherein the hydrogen getter is situated on double-sided adhesive tape that is situated on single-sided adhesive tape, which is adhesively attached to the inside surface of the core assembly housing, wherein the identification tag is situated between the single-sided adhesive tape and the inside surface of the core assembly housing.
