Abstract

See full text

Implantable medical devices include a sensor capable of detecting an indicator of infection in proximity to the device. Sensed information regarding the indicator of infection is provided to the device for a time period of between two hours and six months after the device is implanted. A determination may be made as to whether the sensed information is indicative of infection. The determination may be made in the implanted device or in an external device in wireless communication with the implanted device. If the information is indicative of infection, an alert may be issued from the implanted device or an external device.
