Abstract
A portable defibrillator device has a housing including a disposable power pack and a main electronic unit. Treatment, ground pad and ECG electrodes are also included. One or more non-rechargeable batteries are positioned in the power pack, with each battery including battery contacts. An ECG detection circuit provides a control signal representative of heart activity. A defibrillation circuit is responsive to the control signal and is connected to the treatment electrode to deliver a discharge to the patient. In another embodiment, the portable defibrillator's housing includes a removable power pack and a main electronic unit. Disposed within the power pack are one or more batteries. A treatment electrode is capable of delivering a defibrillation shock and also measure ECG activity of a patient. A ground pad electrode is also included. An ECG detection circuit provides the control circuit, and a defibrillation circuit receives the control signal and delivers a treatment shock when appropriate. The defibrillation circuit is substantially positioned in the main electronic unit.
