Patent ID: 8914096

Claim:
An adaptation probe for insertion into implanted electrode devices of active medical implants for use in high-frequency magnetic alternating fields of MRI systems comprising: a probe body that is elongated and flexible and configured to fit within a lumen of an electrode device; and, at least one electrical assembly coupled within said probe body comprising an interface; one or more electrical components connected to said interface wherein said one or more electrical components are configured to be electrically coupled to one supply lead of a plurality of supply leads of the electrode device such that electrical properties of the electrode device are configurable, wherein said electrical properties comprises any combination of one or more of frequency-dependent resistance, impedance, capacitance, or inductance thereof; and, a plurality of electrical contact pins comprising miniature electronic components connected therebetween, wherein the plurality of contact pins and the miniature components are all configured to be enclosed in a filter housing; a wire coil wound between the plurality of contact pins around the miniature electrical components configured to generate an inductance L of a high frequency filter in the filter housing.
