Patent ID: 7846095

Claim:
An implantable assembly, comprising: an implantable medical device housing including a channel within a connector module having an opening, and an electrical contact being housed within the channel proximal to the opening; an outer lead body including a proximal end, a distal end, and a conduit extending longitudinally from the proximal end to the distal end; and an inner lead including a first end, a second end, a plurality of sensors, and a plurality of electrical contacts; the plurality of sensors being positioned in proximity to the second end of the inner lead and electrically coupled to corresponding electrical contacts of the inner lead and the plurality of electrical contacts of the inner lead being positioned in proximity to the first end; wherein the opening of the channel is adapted for mechanical engagement of the proximal end of the outer lead body and for passage of the inner lead into the channel; and a lateral window opening formed in the outer lead body and positioned in proximity to the distal end of the lead body; wherein the plurality sensors of the inner lead includes a first sensor being longitudinally aligned with the window opening; and wherein the inner lead slideably engages the channel and the conduit of the outer lead body and at least a first one of the plurality of electrical contacts of the inner lead electrically couples to the electrical contact housed within the channel; and wherein the sensor is a glucose sensor.
