Abstract

See full text

During the telemetering of telemetry signals between an implantable medical device and an external programmer, the transmitter power of the implantable device is dynamically adjusted. The programmer measures the strength of the telemetry signals transmitted by the implantable device. A power control signal is generated as a function of the measured signal strength, and the transmitter power of the implantable device is set to a power level specified by the power control signal. For example, if the measured signal strength falls below a predetermined minimum signal strength threshold, power must be increased. This process is repeated until the measured signal strength satisfies a predetermined signal strength condition.
