Learning outcomes:
After successful completion of this course, the students are able to - reproduce the definition of active medical implants and classify a number of given examples, - explain ethical aspects of animal trials as well as human studies and state qualified methods of dealing with ethical conflicts of that kind, - explain the difference of biostability and biocompatibility, - enumerate the general components of an active medical implant, - enumerate, describe, and assess several techniques for electrical interconnections such as (crimping, bonding, etc.), - reproduce base knowledge of electrochemistry in a qualified manner, e.g. Faradays laws, etc. - explain what happens in a galvanic cell and in an electrolytic cell, - explain test methods of neural electrodes, - calculate charge injection capacity and charge storage capacity of electrodes with given data, - enumerate and explain various electrical models of electrodes, - enumerate, describe and assess several techniques of encapsulation of active implants, - enumerate, describe and assess several techniques of sterilisation of active implants, - enumerate, describe and assess several techniques of energizing active implants, - describe the mode of operation of batteries
