Abstract
A system may include a target implantable medical device (IMD) and an external device configured to selectively communicate with the target IMD. The external device may include a communication module configured to communicate with the target IMD, a response analysis module configured to receive and analyze a target response signal from the target IMD and other response signals from other IMDS, and a power adjustment module configured to receive one or more power-adjustment request signals from the response analysis module. The power adjustment module is configured to adaptively adjust a power of a transmission request over a first frequency band based on the one or more power-adjustment request signals until the response analysis module receives only the target response signal from the target IMD.
