1. An implantable medical device system, comprisinga first implantable medical device that is configured to be implanted in a patient;
- the first implantable medical device comprising a first control module configured to;
control operations of the first implantable medical device according to an operating mode of the first control module;
establish whether a second implantable medical device is functionally present or absent in the patient; and
self-configure the first control module between a first operating mode in response to establishing that the second implantable medical device is functionally present and a second operating mode in response to establishing that the second implantable medical device is functionally absent, wherein, according to configuration of the first control module, the second implantable medical device is functionally absent on condition that a battery of the second implantable medical device has reached a state where the second implantable medical device is non-functional in the implantable medical device system.

23. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that when executed by a control module of a first implantable medical device, that is configured to be implanted in a patient, included in an implantable medical device system cause the system to:
-
establish whether a second implantable medical device is functionally present or absent in the patient; and self-configure the control module between a first operating mode in response to establishing that the second implantable medical device is present and a second operating mode in response to establishing that the second implantable medical device is functionally absent, wherein, according to configuration of the control module, the second implantable medical device is functionally absent on condition that a battery of the second implantable medical device has reached a state where the second implantable medical device is non-functional in the implantable medical device system.
