An implantable medical device, including a magnet and a body encompassing the magnet, wherein the implantable medical device includes structural components in the body configured to move away from one another upon initial rotation of the magnet relative to the body when the magnet is subjected to an externally generated magnetic field, thereby limiting rotation of the magnet beyond the initial rotation.

Magnet management MRI compatibility

An apparatus, including a sterilely sealed package, and an electrode assembly sterilely sealed in the package, wherein the apparatus is configured to enable testing for an open circuit between two electrodes of the electrode assembly with the electrode assembly sterilely sealed in the package.

Electrode array packaging system

An implantable medical device, such as a cochlear implant, a bone conduction device or a middle ear implant, including a magnet, and an electromagnetic communication wire forming, with respect to two dimensions, an enclosed boundary, wherein the magnet is located outside of the enclosed boundary. In an exemplary embodiment, the magnet is located in a container, and can revolve within the container.

Magnet placement and antenna placement of an implant

The implantable medical device including a hermetic enclosure including at least one feedthrough having at least one electrically conductive path through the feedthrough. The at least one feedthrough includes an insulator having an entry face and an exit face, and at least one non-linear conductor is configured to extend, within the insulator, from the entry face to the exit face to provide the conductive path, wherein the entry and exit faces are not substantially parallel opposite faces of the insulator.
