An acoustic transducer is connected to the limiting structure and extends into the resonant region so that the resonant region mechanically amplifies the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. An implantable medical device comprising a housing and a limiting structure defining a resonant region in the housing. An acoustic transducer having the shape of a beam is mechanically coupled to the limiting structure and partially extends into the resonant region so that the resonant region mechanically amplifies the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. An implantable medical device comprising a housing, an acoustic transducer coupled to the housing, and a means for mechanically amplifying the deformation of the acoustic transducer at a resonant frequency. The means defines a resonant region in the housing.

International Classification:
A61N 1/375
US Classification:
607 36
Abstract:
An implantable medical device comprising a housing and an ultrasonic transducer having a communication frequency coupled to a portion of the housing. The housing resonates at the communication frequency, and a casing is coupled to the housing and disposed over the ultrasonic transducer. The casing is adapted to amplify the deformation of the ultrasonic transducer in a bending mode and transfer the bending moment to the housing. An implantable medical device comprising a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion. A first ultrasonic transducer is coupled to a first connection rod and is coaxial with the first connection rod. The first ultrasonic transducer and first connection rod are interposed between the upper and lower portions such that the first ultrasonic transducer is adapted to vibrate the upper and lower portions simultaneously. A method of optimizing an ultrasonic transducer and a housing of an implantable medical device.

Assignee:
Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 5/02
US Classification:
600485, 600301, 600486
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide for ambulatorily sensing pulmonary artery pressure from within a patient, and producing a pulmonary artery pressure measurement from the sensed pulmonary artery pressure. Power is ambulatorily provided within the patient to facilitate sensing of the pulmonary artery pressure and producing of the pulmonary artery pressure measurement. Acute pulmonary embolism is detected based on a change or rate of change in the pulmonary artery pressure measurement. An alert is preferably generated in response to detecting pulmonary embolism.
