Title:
IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE COILS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/139674
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An implantable medical device (IMD) may include a plurality of coils that may be used to recharge a power supply of the IMD and/or provide telemetry for the IMD. The IMD may be configured to couple all of the coils in series, such that currents that are induced by each of the coils are added together when the IMD is exposed to an electromagnetic field. The IMD may be configured to alter the coupling of the coils such that the coils are coupled in series opposition, such that currents that are induced by some coils of the IMD are opposed by currents that are induced by other coils of the IMD.
