Abstract
This invention relates to an electrically active implant with a plurality of energy-consuming components and an activation device designed to activate the implant. The electrically active implant is characterized by a deactivation device designed to deactivate the energy-consuming components of the implant, where the energy-consuming components of the implant can be deactivated during the implant'"'"'s storage by means of the deactivation device, and, furthermore, characterized by a device for permanent storage of the implant-specific data.
