Abstract

An energy management system facilitates the transfer of high frequency energy coupled into an implanted lead at a selected RF frequency or frequency band, to an energy dissipating surface. This is accomplished by conductively coupling the implanted lead to the energy dissipating surface through an energy diversion circuit including one or more passive electronic network components whose impedance characteristics are at least partially tuned to the implanted lead's impedance characteristics.
