Pre‐Market Testing ‐ Implants• Power Consumption
– Thermal Safety Limits • Output Signal Characterization
– Amplitudes, Timing, and Charge Density Limits• Inductive Link Characterization• Mechanical and Environmental Testing
– Implant Impact Testing (Case, Coil, etc.)– Hermeticity– Electrode Lead Flex and Tensile Testing
• MRI Testing• EMC Testing• Immunity from Damage due to Medical Procedures
– X‐rays, Ultrasound, etc.
