Abstract
Several issues have been reported regarding aqueous shunts used in the treatment of glaucoma. To attend to these problems an active implantable valve, based in MEMS (mirco electromecanic structure) processes, is proposed. This BioMEMS would be fed wirelessly and would be composed of an integrated circuit, an electrochemical actuator and microfuidics. In order to assess functionality and to optimize these blocks, it is desirable to test them prior to the development of the implant. In this paper a circuit for testing the energy source, the RF link, and the actuator of the active valve was developed and characterized.
