A medical system for performing a therapeutic function on a patient comprises an implantable medical device having a switching function to switch from a normal operating mode to an MRI compatible operating mode in the presence of an MRI device, and an external device for programming at least one setting of the implantable medical device. The external device is configured, based on a programming event relating to said at least one setting, to generate a notification prompting a user to confirm a continuing MRI compatibility of said MRI compatible operating mode after the programming event and/or to amend said at least one setting for achieving MRI compatibility.

Medical system for performing a therapeutic function on a patient

In a method for initiating a data transfer from an implantable medical device a relay data request is generated at a remote device, the relay data request containing an implant interrogation request representing a request for the implantable medical device to create an interrogation data set. The relay data request is transferred to a patient device, and a communication link between the patient device and the implantable medical device is established to transmit said implant interrogation request to the implantable medical device. An implant interrogation response is transferred from the implantable medical device to the patient device, the implant interrogation response representing a response from the implantable medical device containing said interrogation data set. The implant interrogation response is transferred from the patient device to the remote device.
