Abstract:
1. A telemetric monitoring method for monitoring parameters within a body of an animal, the method comprising: inserting an implantable device into a urinary bladder within the body; sensing and storing one or more bodily parameters within a body, wherein the bodily parameters include pressure within a urinary bladder and the steps of sensing and storing are performed by the implantable device; generating a parameter transfer signal external to the body; receiving the parameter transfer signal within the body; responsive to receipt of the parameter transfer signals transmitting the bodily parameters from within the body for receipt by a device external to the body; receiving the bodily parameters transmitted from within the body at the device external to the body; removing the implantable device from the urinary bladder; and comparing the parameter readings stored in the implantable device to the transmitted stored parameter readings received external to the body.
