Abstract
An adapter for temporary sterile electric connection of an implantable medical electronic device to an electrode line that is to be connected to the implantable medical electronic device during implantation for undistorted transmission of measured values detectable on the electrode line to the device.
Claims15
An adapter for temporary, sterile electric connection of an implantable medical electronic device to an electrode line that is to be connected to the implantable medical electronic device during implantation wherein said adapter is configured to couple with said implantable medical electronic device and said electrode line and wherein said adapter is configured to transmit undistorted measured values that are detectable on the electrode line to the implantable medical electronic device.
An implantable medical electronic device for use with an electrode line connectable to the implantable medical electronic device, comprising:
- a measurement element configured to obtain measured values that are detected on the electrode line, wherein said measured values comprise electrode impedance, a stimulus threshold or amplitudes of heart-action potentials;
- and,
- a transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit said measured values outside of the implantable medical electronic device.
A system comprising:
- an electrode line for implantation in a human body,
- an implantable medical electronic device for use with said electrode line wherein said electrode line is connectable to the implantable medical electronic device and wherein said implantable medical electronic device comprises a measurement element configured to obtain measured values detected on the electrode line, wherein said measured values comprise an electrode impedance, a stimulus threshold or amplitudes of heart-action potentials;
- a transmitting unit for wireless transmission of said measured values outside of the implantable medical electronic device to a location outside of a sterile operating field;
- and,
- an adapter for temporary, sterile electric connection of said implantable medical electronic device to said electrode line during implantation for undistorted transmission of said measured values on the electrode line to the implantable medical electronic device wherein said adapter is for use within the sterile operating field.
