摘要： A method and system for enabling secure communications between an implantable medical device (IMD) and an external device (ED) over a telemetry channel. A telemetry interlock may be implemented which limits any communications between the ED and the IMD over the telemetry channel, where the telemetry interlock is released when the ED transmits an enable command to the IMD via a short-range communications channel requiring physical proximity to the IMD. As either an alternative or addition to the telemetry interlock, a data communications session between the IMD and ED over the telemetry channel may be allowed to occur only after the IMD and ED have been cryptographically authenticated to one other.

摘要： This document discusses a system that includes an intermediary telemetry interface device for communicating between a cardiac rhythm management system or other implantable medical device and a programmer or other remote device. One example provides an inductive near-field communication link between the telemetry interface and the implantable medical device, and a radio-frequency (RF) far-field communication link between the telemetry interface device and the remote device. The telemetry interface device provides data buffering. In another example, the telemetry interface device includes a data processing module for compressing and/or decompressing data, or for extracting information from data. Such information extraction may include obtaining heart rate, interval, and/or depolarization morphology information from an electrogram signal received from the implantable medical device.

摘要： An apparatus and method for enabling far-field radio-frequency communications with an implantable medical device in which an antenna is embedded within a dielectric around the periphery of the device. Such a circumferential antenna saves space while still permitting far-field telemetry over a desired range of frequencies.
