Definitions
- the disclosure relates to a display device for a programming device of an implant.
- Some medical implants such as pacemakers, can communicate with a programming device to set parameters of the implant and / or to transfer data from the implant to the programming device. For a user, simple operation of the programming device is desirable.
- resistive touch sensors Programming devices with resistive touch sensors (touch screens) are known.
- a resistive touch sensor only allows the detection of a single touch, which limits the operating options.
- the task is to provide improved technologies for a programming device for an implant.
- the handling of the programming device is to be improved.
- a display device for a programming device of an implant has a frame which receives and holds the following components: a display module which is set up to generate and display a display, a shielding layer which is arranged on the display module, a planar capacitive touch sensor which is arranged on the shielding layer and a cover disposed on the touch sensor.
- the display device also has an antenna. The antenna is set up to send / or receive in the MICS frequency band.
- a programming device for an implant with a display device is disclosed, wherein the display device can have the features disclosed here.
- the MICS frequency band (MICS - medical implant communication service) covers the frequencies from 401 MHz to 406 MHz.
- a core area of the MICS frequency band covers the frequencies from 402 MHz to 405 MHz.
- a first sideband of the MICS frequency band covers the frequencies from 401 MHz to 402 MHz.
- a second sideband of the MICS frequency band covers the frequencies from 405 MHz to 406 MHz.
- the MICS frequency band is used for radio communication with medical implants. It is divided into 25 kHz channels, whereby an implant can take up to 300 kHz. Data rates up to 800 kbit / s are possible.
- the implant can be an active medical implant with very low power (UFP -AMI - ultra low power active medical implant).
- the MICS frequency band is particularly suitable for communication with such an implant.
- a system with an implant e.g. B. an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter / defibrillator (ICD - implantable cardioverter-defibrillator), and a programming device.
- the programming device is configured to communicate wirelessly with the implant, especially in the MICS frequency band.
- the programming device has a capacitive touch sensor (touchscreen). This enables simple and user-friendly operation of the programming device. It is possible to recognize gestures and several simultaneous touches (multi-touch).
- the flat capacitive touch sensor can be a projected capacitive touch sensor (PCAP touchscreen).
- PCAP touchscreen uses two levels with a conductive pattern (mostly stripes or diamonds). The levels are isolated from each other. A first level serves as a sensor, a second level takes over the task of the driver. If a finger is at the intersection of two strips, the capacitance of the capacitor changes and a larger signal arrives at the receiver strip.
- the main advantage of this system is that the sensor can be attached to the back of a cover (the detection is "projected through”, hence the name). For example, it can be operated on a practically wear-free glass surface.
- the shield layer may be configured to shield the capacitive touch sensor and the antenna to avoid interference.
- the cover can be designed as a glass pane.
- the display module can be implemented as an LCD screen (LCD - liquid crystal display).
- the display module, the shielding layer, the touch sensor and the cover can have the same size, in particular the same area.
- the antenna can be arranged on the frame.
- the frame can have a square shape, for example rectangular or square.
- the antenna can be arranged in a corner region of the frame.
- the antenna can have a curved shape, a first antenna wing and a second antenna wing enclosing an angle, for example a right angle.
- the antenna can be arranged in the corner region of the frame such that the first antenna wing extends from the corner in one direction along the frame and the second antenna wing extends from the corner in a second direction along the frame, the first direction and the second direction are different.
- the display device can have two antennas.
- a first antenna can be arranged in a first corner region of the frame and a second antenna can be arranged in a second corner region of the frame.
- the statements relating to the antenna apply analogously to the first antenna and the second antenna.
- the first antenna and the second antenna can each have a curved shape and be arranged in two corner regions of the frame.
- the shielding layer can comprise a grid made of an electrically conductive material (e.g. a metal grid or a shielding film with a metal grid) and a plastic substrate.
- the grid can be arranged on the plastic substrate.
- the plastic substrate can consist of a thermoplastic, for example of PET (PET - polyethylene terephthalate).
- the grid can be a photo-etched grid.
- the shielding layer can have a transmission of more than 85% of the visible light (wavelength from 400 nm to 750 nm) and have a shielding of 63 dB or less at a frequency of 400 MHz.
- the shielding layer can be attached to the display module with an adhesive.
- the adhesive can be an optically transparent adhesive.
- the adhesive can be electrically conductive.
- the adhesive can be a one-component silicone adhesive and can contain, for example, nickel graphite particles.
- the display device can have a control unit which is coupled to the touch sensor with a line, the line being provided with a filter, for example a ferrite filter.
- a plurality of conductors can be provided for connecting the control unit to the touch sensor. Some or all of the multiple conductors can be provided with a filter.
- the control unit can be arranged on a printed circuit board.
- the circuit board can be provided with a shield plate.
- the circuit board can be connected to a housing of the display device via a ground contact. Description of exemplary embodiments

- Two antennas 9 are attached to the frame 7.
- a circuit board with a control unit 10, which is shielded with a shield 11, is arranged below the LCD panel 6.
- the two antennas 9 each have a curved shape with a first antenna wing 9a and a second antenna wing 9b. They enclose a substantially right angle.
- the two antennas 9 are mounted on the respective metallic holders 8a and 8b, which are arranged at corners of the frame 7, so that the antenna wings 9a, 9b extend in front of the respective corner along the frame 7.
- the antennas 9 are configured for communication with an implant in the MICS frequency band.
- the screen film 4 has a metal grid with a very fine grid structure and is optimized for display devices.
- the transmission of the screen film 4 is> 85%.
- the shielding foil 4 has a good shielding effect in the MICS frequency band (approx. 63 dB or less than 400 MHz).
- the product EmiClare MicroMesh 2nd Generation can be used.
- the adhesive "AS-RTV25" from Aerospace Sealants can be used for adhesive layer 5.
- the adhesive is a 1-component silicone adhesive, filled with nickel-graphite particles and has a very good electrical conductivity.
