1. An implantable medical device (IMD) including:
- a near field telemetry module configured to wirelessly receive first information into the IMD;
a far field telemetry module configured to wirelessly receive second information into the IMD; and
a processor in electrical communication with the near field telemetry module and the far field telemetry module, wherein the processor is configured to;
establish, in response to the first information received by the near field telemetry module, a time period during which communication via the far field telemetry module is available; and
operate the IMD according to the received second information in response to receiving third information via the near field telemetry module.

Abstract
An implantable medical device comprises a near field telemetry module to wirelessly receive first information into the IMD, a far field telemetry module to wirelessly receive second information into the IMD, and a processor in electrical communication with the near field telemetry module and the far field telemetry module. The processor is configured to establish, in relation to a communication signal received by the near field telemetry module, a time period during which communication via the far field telemetry module is available, and operate the IMD according to the received second information upon receiving third information via the near field telemetry link.
