Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A system for remotely bonding a companion device to an implanted medical device, comprising;
the implanted medical device periodically determines if the companion device is bonded to the implanted medical device, wherein it is determined no device is bonded to the implanted medical device if a return handshake is not detected after a predetermined amount of time, wherein if no device is bonded to the implanted medical the implanted medical device periodically advertises a signal containing an encrypted number that is encrypted by a cryptographic key associated with the implanted medical device;
a companion device which is provided with the cryptographic key associated with the implanted medical device and which receives the periodic bonding signal from the implanted medical device, determines a decrypted number by decrypting the encrypted number using the cryptographic key information, creates a response to the decrypted number, encrypts the response to the decrypted number, and transmits the encrypted response to the decrypted number to the implanted medical device; and
a build machine that provides the cryptographic key information associated with the implanted medical device to the companion at the time the companion device is manufactured;
wherein the implanted medical device validates the transmitted response and establishes a bonded connection between the companion device and the implanted medical device;
wherein the implanted medical device monitors and/or diagnoses a patient's health conditions and detects causes for concerns, when a cause for concern is detected the implanted medical device sends an alert to the companion device through the bonded connection with the companion device;
wherein the cause for concern is that the implanted medical device has been compromised and the implanted medical device has less than a predetermined amount of medication left; and
wherein the implanted medical device is configured to automatically break the connection to the companion device and continue to save all relevant data to internal storage when the implanted medical device has been compromised.
