Abstract
A system for minimizing adverse effects to an implanted medical device (IMD) can include an automated external defibrillator and an IMD safety control. The automated external defibrillator can have a shock function having the potential to adversely affect a treatment provided by and/or the operation of the implanted medical device. The implanted medical device can be embedded within a living body, referred to as an implantee. The implanted medical device can include wireless communication capabilities. The IMD safety control can be coupled to the automated external defibrillator and can be configured to disable performance of the shock function upon the implantee when the shock function is activated and enable performance of the shock function upon resolution by an operator of the automated external defibrillator. The IMD safety control can be capable of wireless communication with the implanted medical device.
