Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An intelligent implant includes an implantable reporting processor (IRP) and a component of a prothesis system having a receptacle. The IRP includes an antenna, an electronics assembly including a sensor, a hermetically sealed chamber containing the electronics assembly, a casing configured to house at least a portion of the electronics assembly, and a cover configured to house the antenna. The hermetically sealed chamber contains a gas. The casing and the cover abut one another to form an antenna chamber that houses the antenna and a filler. The receptacle of the component is configured to receive a portion of the IRP and to mechanically couple with the implantable reporting processor. The component of the prothesis system may be one of a tibial component or a femoral component of a knee prosthesis system, a humeral component of a shoulder prosthesis system, and a femoral component of a hip prosthesis system.
