摘要：
The present invention concerns a kit of parts and a system for centering an external element with respect to an implantable medical device, said kit of parts comprising: An implantable medical device (20) for being implanted under the skin of a patient and comprising an internal housing provided with a light source (22) positioned such as to emit a light beam coaxial to a secondary axis (Z2), normal to the skin, An external element (10) comprising: - a number, N>；2, of photodetectors (12a-12d) forming a polygon of N edges, normal to a primary axis (Z1), and - an indicator (4) indicating how the external element is to be displaced over the surface of the skin of a patient in order to position the external element with the primary axis (Z1), being coaxial with the secondary axis (Z2), of the implantable medical device, as a function of the energy received by each of the N photodetectors from the light beam emitted by the light source. The present invention also concerns the corresponding method for aligning said external element and said implantable medical device.
