Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device which can safely sesure data transfer from a medical device system by using a remote communication technique. SOLUTION: Confidential data such as a patient record is safely transferred between a programmer and data encryption. A database existing on the programmer includes patient information that can be obtained with at least one plantable medical device. A key source respectively offers 1st and 2nd keys used for enciphering/crypto-analysis processes to the programmer and a remote expert data center. An enciphering engine in the programmer enciphers confidential patient information in the database by using the 1st key. The programmer transmits the patient information enciphered through a data communication system such as a public network to a remote expert data center. An enciphering engine in the remote expert data center decodes the confidential information of a patient enciphered by using the 2nd key.
