Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing automated self-identification information of a remote medical component of an implantable medical device system to a centralized computer is disclosed. The system includes a memory component of the remote medical component containing self-identification information. An information network of the centralized expert data center is globally located relative to the programmer. An interface between the programmer and the information network is established for transmitting the self-identification information from the programmer component to the information network. An information identification module located in the information network recognizes the self-identification information of the components of the programmer.
