A cap for an implantable medical device electrical connector lead assembly and methods of use. A cap for protecting an electrical connector lead assembly of an implantable medical device is disclosed. The cap includes a body defined by a mating surface and a non-mating surface. The mating surface is adapted for electrically insulating engagement with an electrical connector lead assembly of an implantable medical device. The cap includes a body having a mating surface and an electrical network disposed therein. The electrical network includes first and second contacts exposed at the mating surface, a first circuit element, and two conductive pathways connecting the contacts to the circuit element. The body is configured to mate with the electrical connector lead assembly such that each contact conductively engages a corresponding contact of the electrical connector lead assembly when the cap and electrical connector lead assembly are mated.

Cap for an implantable electrical lead assembly

Presented herein is diagnostic and adaptive circuitry for use in an implantable medical system (prosthesis) having at least two physically separate implantable modules (packages) that are electrically connected by a lead assembly (cable). The diagnostic and adaptive circuitry is configured to execute testing and adaptive (corrective) functions.

Diagnostic testing and adaption

A method and device for measuring and controlling stimulation current, for example in an implantable device, are disclosed. A series capacitor (C) is disposed along the conduction path, and the voltage (U) across the capacitor measured, so as to provide a direct measurement of the delivered stimulation current.
