Abstract
A defibrillator is provided with a test load feature which is automatically inserted into electrode paddle jacks when a defibrillator housing lid is closed, placing the defibrillator controller into a TEST MODE. Closing the lid permits actual firing of a shock pulse through the electrode connector through the test load, opening the lid automatically disconnects the test load and permits insertion of electrode paddles, placing the defibrillator into a PATIENT-READY MODE.
