METHOD FOR WAKING UP AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE FROM A DORMANT STATE, IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE, AND SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE AND AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

摘要

A method for waking up an implantable medical device (1) from a dormant state comprises: sending (Sl) a modulated wakeup signal (W1) via a wireless link by means of an external device (2); demodulating (S2) the modulated wakeup signal (W1) by means of a demodulator circuitry (11) of the implantable medical device (1) so as to produce a demodulated wakeup signal (W2), wherein the demodulator circuitry (11) is permanently ready for operation; and activating (S3) an awake state of the implantable medical device (1) in response to the demodulated wakeup signal (W2)
