A predictive diagnostic system () for a distributed population of automated external defibrillator (AED) devices comprises a plurality of AEDs () and a remote service provider (RSP) computer () configured to receive and transmit information pertaining to periodic AED self-tests. Each AED (to) is provided with a controller for testing a readiness of the AED according to a self-test protocol. The RSP computer (i) analyzes self-test result data that includes functional measurement values of the periodic self-tests and which includes data from at least one failed AED (to) of the plurality, (ii) identifies an indicator of an impending fault or failure predictive of an impending AED device fault or failure in at least one non-failed AED () based on the analyzed data, and (iii) remotely modifies the self-test protocol of a sub-set () of the plurality of AEDs, based on the indicator, to pre-empt an occurrence of a self-test failure in the AED devices of the sub-set.

Predictive diagnostic system for a distributed population of automated external defibrillator devices

Systems and methods of limiting activation of a single use automated external defibrillator (AED). The method comprises using an event monitoring module to sense an activation of the AED, monitor the AED's use state, generate a notification and request a deactivation command if the AED's use state satisfies at least one deactivation criterion, and deactivating the AED when a deactivation command is received. The AED device comprises an energy source, a pair of electrodes, an alert module, a wireless communication module, and an event monitoring module.

Single use detector for an automated external defibrillator (AED)

A defibrillator such as an automated external defibrillator (AED) includes a manual override feature which enables the AED to reduce the power consumption and owner annoyance after a self-testing fault. The AED, upon sensing a press of a manual override button or a receipt of an acknowledgement signal from a remote service provider, defers one or both of an alarm output and a subsequent self-test for a predetermined correction period. The deferral allows the user to correct the self-test fault during the correction period without further annoyance.
