Abstract
A medical apparatus is provided that includes an implantable element, in particular a heart pump, and a control unit for the implantable element, which control unit is connected to the implantable element by means of a first connection. The problem of arranging an antenna of a radio module on the control unit expediently and favourably is solved in that the control unit is configured for arrangement outside the patient's body and has a predetermined orientation relative to the patient's body and has a radio module, wherein an antenna of the radio module is arranged in such a way that the region in which the patient's body is intended to be positioned, as considered from the control unit, is shielded from the antenna at least in part by electromagnetically shielding, in particular electrically conductive parts of the control unit or housing thereof.
