Abstract
Systems and methods are described for communicating device information and performance information associated with a population of other electrodes to a remote transceiver. The system can include a radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit coupled to an implantable component. The RFID circuit can include a memory circuit configured to store device information associated with at least one implantation-independent attribute of the implantable component. The RFID circuit can communicate the device information and performance parameters associated with the implantable component to at least one programming unit such as a remote transceiver. The programming unit can program the RFID circuit with information associated with the implantable component.
