ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device, such as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), utilizes a heat-shrink conforming shield to substantially isolate internal components and circuitry from the device housing and from each other. Preferably, the shield also protects the internal circuitry of the device from undesirable electro-magnetic coupling effects. The shape conforming isolation material provides an inexpensive, effective isolation barrier that helps shield the circuitry from undesired coupling effects and also protects the components from inadvertent shorts as well as potential damage during assembly and testing.
