A device () which includes a monitoring unit (), a therapy unit (), and a display () that includes a touch screen (). The monitoring unit () can be configured to monitor a person's vital signs, such as a person's electrocardiogram (ECG). The therapy unit () can be configured to administer an electric shock. The display () can be configured to display the ECG and enable a user to scroll the displayed ECG back and forth and/or to zoom in and zoom out the displayed ECG by touching the touch screen (). The display () can also be configured to enable the user to select two or more separate segments of the ECG to view together at the same time on the display (), which segments can be separated by intervening segments of the ECG that can be hidden from being viewed on the display (). The display () can have multiple user-interface windows (). One window () can be configured to only display functions related to the monitor unit () and/or the therapy unit (), while another window () can be configured to display software applications, including an electronic patient care record (ePCR) application.

Monitor defibrillator with touch screen U/I for ECG review and therapy

An improved method that incorporates a user interface for a defibrillator () capable of being used with paddle electrodes () and adhesive pad electrodes (). A shock delivery button () located on the defibrillator control panel delivers a shock through the pad electrodes. A second shock delivery button (), located on the paddle electrodes, delivers a shock through the paddle electrodes. Both shock delivery buttons are configured with the same shape, operation and illumination in order to reduce user confusion.

Defibrillator paddles with lighted shock buttons

A monitor device having a sensor interface includes a connector portion configured to mechanically interface with one or more sensors of a pre-defined type. A hardware interface layer is configured to determine a sensor type and establish a communication interface with the sensor type. A hardware abstraction layer is configured to store a plurality of protocols corresponding with the one or more sensors of a pre-defined type. The hardware abstraction layer communicates with the sensor using a selected protocol for that type through the communication interface to permit interaction between the device and the sensor type.

Automatic external sensor interface

An improved user interface for a defibrillator () capable of being used with paddle electrodes () and adhesive pad electrodes (). A shock delivery button () located on the defibrillator control panel delivers a shock through the pad electrodes. A second shock delivery button (), located on the paddle electrodes, delivers a shock through the paddle electrodes. Both shock delivery buttons are configured with the same shape, operation and illumination in order to reduce user confusion.
