Abstract
A method for managing a wireless communication between an implantable medical device and at least two external devices includes associating the implantable medical device with a first external device so as to enable communication between the first external device and the implantable medical device via a wireless connection, and activating a search mode of the implantable medical device. In the search mode, the implantable medical device wirelessly sends out an advertising message that indicates its availability for association with at least a second external device. A blocking mode of the first external device is activated in response to the activation of the search mode of the implantable medical device. In the blocking mode, the first external device is disconnected from the implantable medical device and does not attempt to connect with the implantable medical device.
