Patent

CA 2701035

A medical device with an implantable portion comprises, in part, an encapsulation sensor In preferred embodiments, the encapsulation sensor comprises at least two electrodes and a circuit configured to sense impedance between the electrodes Cell accumulation and fibrous capsule growth causes an increase in impedance. Functionality of the sensor can be evaluated based at least in part on the sensed impedance

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical pourvu d'une partie implantable comprenant, en partie, un capteur d'encapsulage. Dans des modes préférés de réalisation, le capteur d'encapsulage comporte au moins deux électrodes et un circuit configuré pour détecter une impédance entre les électrodes. Une accumulation de cellules et une croissance de capsules fibreuses provoquent une augmentation d'impédance. La fonctionnalité du capteur peut être évaluée, au moins en partie, à partir de l'impédance détectée.
