    • The implantable, electrically operated medical device system comprises an implanted radio frequency (RF) receiving unit (receiver) incorporating a back-up rechargeable power supply and an implanted, electrically operated device, and an external RF transmitting unit (transmitter). RF energy is transmitted by the transmitter and is coupled into the receiver which is used to power the implanted medical device and/or recharge the back-up power supply. The back-up power supply within the receiver has enough capacity to be able to, by itself, power the implanted device coupled to the receiver for at least 24 hours during continual delivery of medical therapy. The receiver is surgically implanted within the patient and the transmitter is worn externally by the patient. The transmitter can be powered by either a rechargeable or non-rechargeable battery. In a first mode of operation, the transmitter will supply power, via RF coupled energy, to operate the receiver and simultaneously recharge the back-up power supply. In a second mode of operation, the receiver can, automatically or upon external command from the transmitter, acquire its supply of power exclusively from the back-up power supply. Yet, in a third mode of operation, the receiver can, automatically or upon command from the transmitter, alternatively acquire its supply of power from either, RF energy coupled into the receiver or the internal back-up power supply.

    • The implantable device includes a power supply including a high value, small sized capacitor having at least a capacitive rating of 0.1 farads which is completely contained within the implantable device. This high value, small size capacitor or series of capacitors enables the implantable device to deliver, on a controlled and continual basis, electric energy over at least an eight hour period. Further, the capacitive power source is replenished via an external, RF coupled device on a daily or other long term periodic basis. During the replenishing cycle, the energy contained in the battery of the external transmitter is transferred to the internal capacitive power source in the implantable device. The method includes providing, on an exclusive basis, power to an implantable device via a high value capacitive source during at least an eight hour cycle of substantially continual delivery of electric energy. The method includes incorporating and containing a capacitive device in the implantable device wherein the capacitive device has a capacitive rating of at least 0.1 farads. The capacitive device captures and stores a pre-determined amount of coulombs of electrical energy. This electrical energy is utilized to power the implantable device during at least an eight hour cycle during substantial continual delivery of electrical energy. The replenishment unit can be programmed to interrogate the implanted device and reprogram the implanted device upon detection of a lower power status signal. Also, automatic as well as manually commanded replenishment routines are established between the replenishment unit and the implanted device. Data transmission, error detection routines are established for the programming of the implanted device.
