In one embodiment, a defibrillation assembly energizable through case opening is provided. The defibrillation assembly includes an a magnetically triggered reed switch; a magnet positioned to keep the switch in an open position; an energy storage element that supplies power to the magnetically triggered reed switch; circuitry configured to generate a defibrillation waveform, wherein the circuitry is isolated from the energy storage element by the magnetically triggered reed switch; and a case within which at least a portion of the circuitry is located and a comprising a portion connected to the magnet by a mechanical interconnect, wherein an opening of the case displaces the connected case portion, which displaces the magnet far enough to transition the magnetically triggered reed switch into a closed position and causes the power to flow to the circuitry through the magnetically triggered reed switch.

In one embodiment, a defibrillation assembly energizable through pad removal is provided. The defibrillation assembly includes a mechanical switch that is in an open position when the circuitry is not in use; an energy storage element that supplies power to the mechanical switch; circuitry configured to generate a defibrillation waveform, wherein the circuitry is isolated from the energy storage element by the mechanical switch; andelectrode pads through which the defibrillation waveform is delivered to a patient, wherein a removal of at least one of the electrode pads from an initial position to a further position causes the power to flow to the circuitry through the mechanical switch.

A pocket size defibrillator case is described. The defibrillator case includes a circuit enclosure having a bottom surface surrounded by four walls forming a cavity to house an energy storage circuit. An electrode enclosure includes a bottom surface surrounded by four walls forming a cavity to house electrode pads and is stacked on top of the circuit enclosure. A cover includes a substantially flat surface positioned over the electrode enclosure and moveable to allow access only to the electrode enclosure.

Defibrillator case

A completely de-energizable defibrillator is provided, allowing the electrical components of the defibrillator to be electrically unbiased while the defibrillator is not in use. The de-energizing of the defibrillator can be accomplished by separating the battery from the rest of the defibrillator circuitry with an electromechanical component, such as a power switch like a magnetically-triggered reed switch or a mechanically-triggered switch. The de-energizing of the defibrillator can also be accomplished by including in the defibrillator a removable piece of insulating material between the battery and the circuitry. The de-energizing of the defibrillator can also be accomplished by a change in configuration or position of the moveable components of the AED. The preparation of the defibrillator for use triggers the circuitry to become energized. Additionally, the microcontroller unit of the AED includes features to prevent computational errors due to cosmic radiation, including lockstep processors and error detection code.
