Abstract
A defibrillator () and method () are described having an improved automatic activation feature. The improvement comprises sensing a pattern of events which indicates that repeated activations are inadvertent, and thus are unnecessarily depleting the battery. The defibrillator then disables the automatic activation circuit () feature. Then, the sensing of a manual defibrillator operation may trigger a re-enablement of the automatic activation feature.
