Abstract
A medical device includes a hybrid circuitry assembly and a core circuitry support structure. The core circuitry support structure includes a frame defining a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the hybrid circuitry assembly. An outer surface of the frame is shaped to correspond to an inside surface of a core assembly housing configured to enclose the hybrid circuitry assembly and the core circuitry support structure.
Claims20
A medical device comprising:
- a hybrid circuitry assembly comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first surface and a second, parallel surface;
- and
- a core circuitry support structure, comprising:
- a frame defining a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the hybrid circuitry assembly,
- wherein an outer surface of the frame is shaped to correspond to an inside surface of a core assembly housing configured to enclose the hybrid circuitry assembly and the core circuitry support structure.
