Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an implantable medical device comprising: an implantable component, comprising an implantable memory module, configured to receive and store recipient-specific operating parameters in the implantable memory module, an external component, comprising an external memory module, configured to communicate with the implantable component to receive the recipient-specific operating parameters, and to configure the external component using the recipient-specific operating parameters, wherein the implantable medical device is configured to transfer the recipient-specific operating parameters upon operationally coupling the implantable component with the external component.

An implantable medical device comprising:
- an implantable component comprising an implantable memory module, said implantable component configured to receive and store data in said implantable memory module;
- and
- an external component comprising an external memory module, said external component configured to communicate with said implantable component to receive said data,
- wherein said external component further comprises an identification circuit and is further configured to transmit an identification code stored on said identification circuit, and wherein said implantable component further comprises a sensor configured to receive said identification code and is further configured to transmit said data from said implantable memory module to said external memory module upon receiving said identification code.
An implantable medical device comprising:
- an implantable component comprising an implantable memory module, said implantable component configured to receive and store a first unique identifier in said implantable memory module;
- and
- an external component comprising an external memory module and a speech processor, said external component configured to store a second unique identifier in the external memory module, configured to communicate with said implantable component to receive said unique identifier, and configured to transmit speech signals processed by said speech processor to the internal component only when said first unique identifier is the same as the second unique identifier.
An implantable medical device comprising:
- an implantable component comprising an implantable memory module, the implantable component configured to receive and store operating parameters in said implantable memory module, wherein said operating parameters are specific to said implantable component;
- and
- an external component comprising an external memory module, the external component configured to communicate with said implantable component to receive said operating parameters, and to configure the external component using said operating parameters.
