Presented herein are techniques for electronically locking an electronic device in response to detection of a safety critical fault. As used herein, a 'safety critical fault' is a fault having a potential to cause harm to an individual using the device. In particular, an electronic device in accordance with certain embodiments presented herein is configured to determine when the electronic device has experienced a safety critical fault. In response, the electronic device automatically restarts itself and, following restart, is automatically forced into a locked mode. The locked mode prevents execution of a run-time program stored in the electronic device.

Safety critical electronic device lock

A sensory supplement medical device, including a stimulation device configured to implement a first functionality of the sensory supplement medical device corresponding to the providing of sensory supplement to a recipient to evoke a sensory percept, wherein the sensory supplement medical device is configured to implement a secondary functionality different from the first functionality, and the sensory supplement medical device is configured to migrate the second functionality to a device remote from the sensory supplement medical device.
