Assembly and method for managing a data transfer layer for a personal medicinal device

摘要

The arrangement (10) has programmable personal medical devices (20), where each device comprises a programmable data transmission interface for data transmission from and to the medical devices using one of data transmission protocols (15, 15', 15''). A control unit changes the protocols and accepts data transmission via the interface. An identification is made to identify the medical device. A management unit (25) transmits the protocols from a storage unit (50) on a basis of a designation query (100) to the control unit of the medical device to change the protocols. An independent claim is also included for a method for managing a data transmission layer of a programmable personal medical device such as implantable medical device e.g. cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator.
