Abstract
A method for waking up an implantable medical device from a dormant state comprises: sending a wake-up signal via a wireless link by means of an external device; receiving the wake-up signal by the implantable medical device in the dormant state; activating an awake state of the implantable medical device in response to the wake-up signal; attempting with at least one or a predefined number of attempts, in the awake state of the implantable medical device, to establish a communication between the external device and the implantable medical device; identifying, by the implantable medical device, the activation of the awake state as a valid activation based on the attempting to establish a communication; and in case the activation of the awake state is not identified as a valid activation, blocking a subsequent activation of the awake state of the implantable medical device based on the wake-up signal.
