Abstract: Therapeutic system with implantable therapeutic unit (ITU) comprising control unit (CU), memory, telemetry unit connected (in)directly to CU for wireless bidirectional transmission of data to/from external device (ED) and detection unit for detecting physiological patient data or operational data. CU triggers outgoing data transmission (DT) from ITU to ED based on preselected internal events and establishes standby mode for reception on part of telemetry unit for receiving beginning (header) of incoming DT from ED to therapeutic unit exclusively within preselected response time window after DT from ITU to ED.

Abstract: The invention consists of a system for remote programming of an implantable medical device such as a heart pacemaker, defibrillator or the like, wherein the system includes a programmable personal device (e.g., an implant) and a service center. The service center has a programming monitoring unit which determines a programming time endpoint which depends on the point in time at which a programming order was sent to the implant, and which cancels or deletes the programming order if the service center has not received a programming confirmation confirming successful receipt, execution, and/or forwarding of the programming order by the implant by the programming time endpoint.

Abstract: Individual implantable medical device (IMD) follow-up support unit supports follow-up session for IMD. IMD includes a data input for receiving IMD data which includes an IMD identification code identifying an individual IMD and IMD type, and IMD irregularity messages including data identifying type/date of irregularity, a database for storing IMD, a follow-up history dataset that includes date(s) of latest follow-up session.
