The present invention relates to a system and method for replacing an implanted medical device with an implantable medical replacement device, wherein a programming device sends a command signal to the medical device to change an address of the medical device to a new address being different from an address of the replacement device to allow independent communication of the programming device with both the medical device and the replacement device.
