There is provided an energy delivery device comprising a storage device, a discharge circuit and a disarm circuit. The discharge circuit comprises a switch electrically connected to the storage device, and is selectively operable to deliver energy from the storage device to a load, e.g., a patient needing defibrillation, preferably in a multiphasic waveform. The disarm circuit comprises the switch. Preferably, the discharge circuit comprises an H-bridge circuit. There are also provided delivery devices: which comprise a shoot-through elimination circuit; which include housing elements which, when assembled, cause electrical connection between respective components; which include a housing having a small volume and an energy storage device having a large capacitance; which comprise a shunt circuit which, when activated, prevents switching of a switch. There are also provided methods of assembly and disassembly of an energy delivery unit and methods of delivering energy to a load.

Energy delivery apparatus and method

A device for non-invasively measuring concentration of one or more analytes in a living subject or a biological sample, wherein the device includes several light sources, a system for controlling the timing and intensity of the light source outputs, a system for passing the light through the subject or sample, a system for measuring the amount of light transmitted, and a system for relating the measurement to the concentration of the analyte in question. The light sources are narrow band sources at different wavelengths, and are capable of being rapidly switched between two levels of intensity. The actual number of light sources required and the wavelengths of the sources are dependent upon the specific analyte being measured.

Method and device for analyte measurement

A medical treatment device includes a plurality of digitally controlled medical treatment modules with a feature authorizing system to enable selected treatment modules in response to the entry and subsequent validation of a user's passcode.

Medical treatment device with functions, operated under passcode control

A defibrillator paddle set includes first and second paddles connected together with a Y-shaped cord set. The legs of the cord set are attached to the forward ends of each paddle, adjacent a defibrillator 'firing' button. Improved manufacturing techniques and enhanced operator safety are realized.

External defibrillator electrode apparatus

Computer fan

A protective device for an EKG monitor for use in surgical electrocautery which employs an electrocautery surgical knife supplied with radio frequency power and an EKG monitoring apparatus having an input and including a scope providing an EKG display. Electrodes are provided for attachment to a surgical patient and are connected to the apparatus by the protective device, which includes a radio frequency detector and disabling apparatus which removes signal from the EKG monitor input in the presence of radio frequency energy.

Protection of EKG monitor against electrical surgical interference

A ventilating device is provided for ventilating an electronic apparatus such as a computer. The device includes a housing having a top wall with a first ventilating aperture therein, and further includes a floor, a pair of side walls extending between said floor and said top wall, and an end wall closing one end of the housing. The housing is open at one end. The device further includes a fan unit secured in the housing adjacent the top wall in substantial alignment with the ventilating aperture and spaced above the housing floor, whereby the fan unit pulls air in through one of the ventilating aperture and open end expels air through the other thereof to facilitate the flow of air through the electronic apparatus.

Fan for cooling computer

A disposable electrode pad is provided for a defibrillator electrode. The pad is saturated with electrically conductive greasy material, sometimes known as electrogel. The pad is designed for adhesive or other securing to the electrode, and the pad is covered with a tear-off aluminum sheet cover to protect the integrity and sanitation of the pad, while still allowing sufficient electrical conductivity for monitoring a patient's heartbeat through the electrode.

Method of using a disposable electrode pad

Electronic defibrillating mechanism in which the electrodes comprise handles to be grasped by an operator with electrodes in the form of discs to be placed against the chest of the patient. The handles are provided with push buttons, and a neon ready-light is provided in each push button to indicate when the apparatus is charged to the desired extent for the operator to effect a defibrillating discharge.
