Abstract:
1. A method of electrically isolating a communication of an ambulatory medical device that is connectable to a peripheral device via an active communication cable, comprising: providing an ambulatory medical device having a housing containing a communication connector configured to interface with an active communication cable; a battery; a first circuitry comprising a first isolator transceiver, a first GMR isolator transceiver, and a control circuitry; and a second circuitry comprising a second isolator transceiver, a second GMR isolator transceiver, and a communication circuitry, the ambulatory medical device further having a fluid conduit configured to extend between the housing and the patient, and providing instructions to couple the active communication cable to the communication connector of the medical device and initiate a data transfer between the medical device and the peripheral device such that the first circuitry and the patient are isolated from the second circuitry and the peripheral device while the active communication cable is connected and the data transfer occur at a data transfer rate of at least 12 Mb/second.
