A bi-directional communication system (20) for use with a restrictive opening device (22) implanted within a patient. The system includes a sensor (84) for measuring an operational parameter within the restrictive opening device. The system further includes a means (54,56) for communicating a measured parameter data from the sensor means to a local unit (60) external to the patient. The system further includes a base unit (170) at a remote location from the patient, the base unit including user interface means (176) for evaluating the measured parameter data. And, a communication link (180) between the local and base units for transmitting data between the units, the transmitted data including the measured parameter data. |
