I think if you look around hospitals and science labs you will find there is some old electrical equipment that is still used because of how reliable it is.

When we want we can make lighbulbs that last a century

Space probe Voyager 1 (1977) is still communicating with earth from beyond the solar system, Space tech is a good general example of advanced technology that is designed to keep functioning, EDIT: After 46 years it had a computer glitch just today. It was designed to last only 5 years.

Other examples include bakelite Telephones from the 30s and Radios from even earlier still being fully operational.

Incorporating electrical equipment in implant and prosthesis should be just fine, but it should come ready out of the box with no need for updates whatsoever and the software that is prevalent open source so you don’t need to rely on a for profit company to maintain your health post surgery.
