OPÉRATIONS DE TÉLÉMÉTRIE EN CHAMP LOINTAIN ENTRE UN DISPOSITIF EXTERNE ET UN DISPOSITIF MÉDICAL IMPLANTABLE PENDANT LA RECHARGE DU DISPOSITIF MÉDICAL IMPLANTABLE VIA UN COUPLAGE DE PROXIMITÉ
Far field telemetry operations are conducted between an external device and an implantable medical device while power is being transferred to the implantable medical device for purposes of recharging a battery of the implantable medical device. The far field operations may include exchanging recharge information that has been collected by the implantable medical device which allows the external device to exercise control over the recharge process. The far field operations may include suspending far field telemetry communications for periods of time while power continues to be transferred where suspending far field telemetry communications may include powering down far field telemetry communication circuits of the implantable medical device for periods of time which may conserve energy. The far field operations may further include transferring programming instructions to the implantable medical device.
