Title:
FAR FIELD TELEMETRY COMMUNICATION WITH A MEDICAL DEVICE DURING A RECHARGE SESSION WHERE A PRIOR PAIRING WITH THE MEDICAL DEVICE MAY NOT EXIST
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/102763
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Far field telemetry communications are conducted during recharge sessions between an external device and an implantable medical device. The two devices may not have been previously paired together for far field telemetry and may have been paired with other devices for far field telemetry during previous recharge sessions and/or programming sessions. Embodiments provide for temporary bonding of the two devices for far field telemetry during the recharge session. The implantable medical device of the recharge session may maintain a programming bond with an external device other than the external device conducting the recharge session. Safeguards against establishment of inadvertent programming sessions between the external device that has conducted a recharge session and implantable medical devices that may or may not be bonded to that external device are provided.
