Abstract:
A medical system comprising internal parts for implantation in a patient and external parts for use externally to the patient, the external parts comprising an energy source equipped with a primary coil for inductively transmitting energy to the implantable parts and an external control unit for the control of the energy source, the internal parts comprising an electrically powered medical device, an energy receiver equipped with a secondary coil for inductively receiving energy for the medical device from the external energy source and an internal control unit for the control of the internal parts, in which system the internal control unit is arranged to wirelessly transmit feedback information to the external control unit, the system being arranged to determine said feedback information based on or relating to a parameter.

Claim (Index 59):
A method for use with a medical system which comprises internal parts for implantation in a patient and external parts for use externally to the patient, the external parts comprising:\n an energy source equipped with a primary coil for inductively transmitting energy to the implantable parts, a control unit for the control of the energy source, the internal parts comprising:\n an electrically powered medical device, \n an energy receiver equipped with a secondary coil for inductively receiving energy for the medical device from the external energy source, \n an internal control unit for the control of the internal parts, \n the method comprising the steps of:\n determining a balance between the amount of energy received in the energy receiver and the amount of energy used by the medical device, and \n letting the internal control unit wirelessly transmit feedback information to the external control unit, \n wherein the medical system comprises at least one of: \n a current regulator arranged to keep a current constant, wherein the method further comprises the step of determining a current difference between an input current to the current regulator and the current which the current regulator is arranged to keep constant, and \n a voltage regulator arranged to keep a voltage constant, wherein the method further comprises determining a voltage difference between an input voltage to the voltage regulator and the output voltage which the voltage regulator is arranged to keep constant, \n wherein the method further comprises the steps of using the parameter to determine the amount of energy which should be transmitted by the energy source.
