Abstract:
1. An apparatus having: at least one telemetry data interface which is adapted to perform a data exchange by way of cellular radio or wireless data networks, a user identity module containing items of information for operation, including authorization of a user for use of cellular radio or wireless data networks, a first control unit which controls establishment and implementation of the data exchange on the basis of the items of information stored on the user identity module, adapted to receive a rejection of a user identity by the cellular radio or the wireless data networks when the user identity is rejected during a log-on process, a second control unit configured to at least temporarily override a rejection of the user identity module by the cellular radio or wireless data networks received by the first unit by bypassing or erasing communicated information about the rejection, and at least a second telemetry data interface operatively communicated with an associated electromedical implant for use in evaluating data received from the associated electromedical implant and, transmitting the data to a remote monitoring service center, wherein the apparatus is portable by an associated user, wherein the telemetry data interfaces are configured to perform the data exchange by way of at least one of a GSM network, UMTS network, CDMA network or WLAN network, wherein at least one of the control units is configured to detect unsuccessful log-on because of rejection by wireless data networks available at a location, and wherein the first control unit is configured to identify a list of locally receivable wireless data networks and wherein the first control unit is adapted to make the list of the locally receivable wireless data networks accessible to the second control unit .
