Some embodiments of the current disclosure are directed toward defibrillation and defibrillation equipment, and more particularly, an automated external defibrillator (AED) and a non-clinical power adapter therefor. In some embodiments, an AED may include an electrical connector to receive a battery pack, at least one capacitor to store energy, an electrotherapy delivery circuit to deliver the energy externally as electrotherapy, at least one discharge circuit to internally discharge energy stored in the capacitor(s), a non-clinical power adapter to be received by the electrical connector, and at least one processor. The processor(s) may determine whether the non-clinical power adapter is electrically coupled to the electrical connector, determine whether the automated external defibrillator recognizes the non-clinical power adapter, and/or enable power to be supplied to the automated external defibrillator from the non-clinical power adapter if the automated external defibrillator recognizes the non-clinical power adapter.

Automated external defibrillator and power supply adapted for non-clinical use

This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.

Pediatric and adult defibrillator

A medical device management system comprising a defibrillating apparatus, which comprises a plurality of electrodes configured to monitor ECG signals and deliver a defibrillation shock. The system including a communication unit configured to establish a secured wireless network, automatically generate a first text message upon receipt of a signal indicative of deployment of the defibrillating apparatus, associate the first text message with a unit identifier, automatically send the first text message, automatically generate a second text message comprising defibrillation shock status upon delivery of the defibrillation shock, associate the second text message with the unit identifier, automatically send the second text message; and a handheld device associated with a caregiver and configured to receive the first and second text messages and associate the first and second text messages with the specific defibrillating apparatus based on the unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus.

Medical equipment messaging

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises a removable interface module and wireless dock for an automated external defibrillator. The removable interface module includes a first processor, a first memory and first low-power radio transceiver communicatively coupled with the first processor and configured to receive status information from the automated external defibrillator. The removable interface module further includes a wireless power receiver and a rechargeable energy storage device electrically coupled with the wireless power receiver and configured to receive power wirelessly for the removable interface module. The wireless dock includes a second processor, a second memory and second low-power radio transceiver communicatively coupled with the second processor and configured to receive the status information from the removable interface module when the automated external defibrillator is powered off and transmit the status information through a networking interface. The wireless dock further comprises a wireless power transmitter.

System and method for wireless AED docking

This document describes an electrode assembly for use with a defibrillator, the electrode assembly comprising at least one electrode including a first surface that can be affixed to either of a pediatric patient and an adult patient and a second surface, wherein a majority of the second surface includes pictorial instructions related to use of the electrode assembly; and a chest compression sensor attached to the at least one electrode, wherein the at least one electrode is configured to be used on an adult patient when the electrode assembly is in a first orientation, and wherein the at least one electrode is configured to be used on a pediatric patient when the electrode assembly is in a second orientation.

Electrode assemblies for treating adult and pediatric patients

A defibrillation electrode pad includes an electrode section and a CPR administration section. The electrode section and the CPR administration section are positioned in the defibrillation electrode pad relative to each other such that the CPR administration section is located above a sternum of an adult subject and the electrode section is located in a position appropriate for the administration of a defibrillation shock to the adult subject when the defibrillation electrode pad is oriented in a first orientation and such that the CPR administration section is located above a sternum of a pediatric subject and the electrode section is located in a position appropriate for the administration of a defibrillation shock to the pediatric subject when the defibrillation electrode pad is oriented in a second orientation different from the first orientation.

Automated external defibrillator electrode pad

In various embodiments, the presently described methods, apparatus, and systems can facilitate decreasing a boot time of a medical device, e.g., an amount of time between when a medical device or system is first turned on or powered on and when the medical device or system is ready to perform its intended function. In some embodiments, the present disclosure can also facilitate conducting tests on the functionality of various operational circuits shortly or immediately after the device/system has been activated. In some cases, the emergency medical devices/systems can report on the status or functionality of operational circuits even before the emergency medical device is fully booted up and ready to perform some or all of its intended functions.

Systems and methods for providing rapid medical care

A defibrillator for wireless transmission of power and status information, the defibrillator including a housing, a battery, and a processor and memory. The processor configured to periodically power up the defibrillator and execute self-tests to generate status information regarding the self-tests. The defibrillator further include an interface module embedded within the housing and configured to receive the status information regarding the self-tests. The defibrillator also includes a first transceiver configured to receive power from a second transceiver and send the status information to the second transceiver while the first transceiver is within range of the second transceiver. The defibrillator further including a capacitor configured to receive the power from the at least one first transceiver and provide power to the interface module without requiring power from the battery.
