The description relates to devices and device adjustment. One example can include a first portion that defines a cam pivot. The example can also include a height adjuster comprising a wedge and a positioning loop positioned over the cam pivot, such that rotation of a cam on the cam pivot to contact one cam follower of the positioning loop that moves the wedge toward another component or to contact an opposite cam follower of the positioning loop that moves the wedge away from the another component.

A foldable electronic device includes a first portion, a second portion, and a hinge connecting the first portion and the second portion. The hinge is configured to allow pivoting movement of the first portion relative to the second portion, wherein the hinge has a hinge force. One or more magnets are coupled to the first portion, and a plurality of metal members are coupled to the second portion. Each metal member of the plurality of metal members is configured for individual removal from the second portion to define a magnetic force based on the hinge force, thereby allowing the first and second portions to be maintained together when in a closed orientation and allowing for easy one finger opening operation from the closed orientation.

A modular automated external defibrillator (AED) system includes a base unit and at least one interconnected module. The base unit typically includes a functional circuit and includes an interface that couples the functional circuit to the module. Likewise, the module includes an interface that couples the module to the base unit By manufacturing such modular AED models instead of one-piece, i.e., integrated, AED models, a manufacturer can reduce the cost and complexity of its manufacturing process. Furthermore, the manufacturer may be able to bring such a modular AED to market more quickly than it could bring an integrated model of the AED to market. Moreover, a modular AED allows the manufacturer and customer flexibility in respectively providing and selecting feature sets. In addition, a customer can obtain replacements for broken modules, and the manufacturer can provide cheaper upgrades by upgrading a module or base unit instead of upgrading the entire AED.

Modular medical device, base unit and module thereof, and automated external defibrillator (AED), methods for assembling and using the AED

A method and apparatus for identifying electrodes attached to a defibrillator and adjusting patient therapy delivered by a defibrillator in response thereto.

Smart medical connector system and method of use

An automated or semi-automated external defibrillator (AED) is provided with a plurality of power sources. The AED includes a first power source that powers circuitry creating a defibrillation electrical shock, and a second power source for powering other circuitry. By including a separate power source for the low-power needs of the AED, the high-power source will typically last longer than if the low-power source were omitted. This reduces maintenance costs, particularly where the high-power source is more expensive to replace than the low-power source. Furthermore, one may use the high-power source as a backup to the low-power source so the AED can still operate even if the low-power source fails.

A package stores at least one electrode pad having a lead. The package includes an interior for storing the pad, and includes a portion that is openable to allow removal of the package from the leads. For example, the openable portion of the package may include a sealed seam through which the lead extends. The operator can peel apart the seam to both open the package and free the package from the lead. Where the pad is a defibrillator electrode pad, the ability to quickly and easily free the package from the lead may save precious seconds during the rescue of a patient in cardiac arrest. For example, freeing the package from the lead typically allows the operator a fuller view of and easier access to the defibrillator and the patient, and eliminates a potential distraction.

Electrode-pad package that is removable from an electrode-pad lead and method for opening the package

A package for increasing shelf life of electrodes packaged therein. A first package within which one or more gel-containing electrode pads are sealed. In addition, at least one moisture source is sealed within the package.

A cartridge is provided for storing one or more electrode pads such as a defibrillator electrode pad. The cartridge includes a housing having a rigid portion, a storage space disposed within the housing, and a storage-space opening that allows one to remove/insert the electrode pad or pads from/into the storage space. Because it has a housing with a rigid portion, such a cartridge can better protect one or more electrode pads from handling damage. Furthermore, one can construct the cartridge such that it is attachable to a medical device such as an AED. This allows an operator to carry or store the medical device, cartridge, and one or more electrode pads as a single unit. In addition, one can construct the cartridge such that the one or more electrode pads can be pre-connected to the medical device. This can eliminate connecting the one or more electrode pads to the medical device during an emergency.

Cartridge for storing an electrode pad

An apparatus for delivering defibrillation therapy to a patient. Specifically, an external defibrillators or automatic or semi-automatic external defibrillator (AEDs) is described. The defibrillator is automatically activated or inactivated by, for example, inserting or removing an object, such as a plug or a pin, into a receptacle within the defibrillator housing.

A chassis which comprises a first frame and a second frame is provided. The first frame includes a front surface and a pair of first flanges formed on opposing edges of the front surface. The second frame includes a pair of side surfaces. Each side surface has an edge with a second flange and a plurality of aligned guide elements. The second flanges and the guide elements define guide channels for slidably receiving the first flanges. A cover assembly for the chassis comprises a panel having a first inner surface, a hook, and a standoff projecting from the first inner surface. The hook has a leg portion and an arm portion which may be inserted into a slot in one of the surfaces of the chassis.
