Abstract
A process is provided for programming a device implanted in a patient from an external programming unit. A first access signal is transmitted, from an external source to the implant, to enable a computer within the implant to receive a second access signal. A second access signal is transmitted, from the external source to the implant, to enable the computer to receive and store programming signals representing data. The computer is inhibited from storing the programming signals unless both the first access signal and the second access signal have been received in sequence.
