An implantable drug delivery system is provided, comprising a reservoir for comprising a drug to be delivered, a pump (27) for delivering the drug to a patient, an actuator (22) for operating the pump, a monitoring sensor (12) for monitoring a performance of the system and a power source (13, 23) for providing power to the system. The system comprises at least two separate units. An actuator unit (20) comprises an actuator controller (21) and the actuator (22), the actuator controller (21) being arranged to control the actuator (22). A sensor unit (10) comprises a sensor controller (11) and the monitoring sensor (12), the sensor controller (11) being arranged for switching off the actuator unit (20) in dependence of the monitored performance.
