1. An external interface device comprising:
- a first circuit to wirelessly communicate data with a wireless circuit of an external device;
a controller coupled to the first circuit and configured to exchange data with the external device using the first circuit;
a battery coupled to the controller;
a second circuit coupled to the controller and adapted to couple with an implantable apparatus by a wired connection which is completely wired from the second circuit to the implantable apparatus, wherein the controller is configured to exchange electrical signals with the implantable apparatus using the second circuit; and
wherein the first circuit, controller, battery, and second circuit are configured for use in a sterile field, and wherein the battery is electrically isolated from the external device.
