Abstract: A physiologic sensor pod comprises a housing, and first and second electrodes on a bottom surface of the housing and spaced apart from one another. Within the housing is a battery, a battery charging circuit, an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor circuit powered by the battery and adapted to sense an ECG signal, and a reset detection circuit. The battery charging circuit is adapted to charge the battery when the first and second electrodes of the physiologic sensor pod are placed in contact with first and second electrical contacts of a charging unit. The ECG sensor circuit is adapted to obtain an ECG signal while the first and second electrodes are placed against a user's chest. The reset detection circuit is adapted to output a reset signal, which causes the physiologic sensor pod to be reset, when a voltage between the first and second electrodes is greater than a reset threshold level.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to techniques for shifting between two electrode combinations. An amplitude of a first electrode combination is incrementally decreased while an amplitude of a second, or subsequent, electrode combination is concurrently incrementally increased. Alternatively, an amplitude of the first electrode combination is maintained at a target amplitude level while the amplitude of the second electrode combination is incrementally increased. The stimulation pulses of the electrode combinations are delivered to the patient interleaved in time. In this manner, the invention provides for a smooth, gradual shift from a first electrode combination to a second electrode combination, allowing the patient to maintain a continual perception of stimulation. The shifting techniques described herein may be used during programming to shift between different electrode combinations to find an efficacious electrode combination.

Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to an emergency medical device with multiple display monitors for displaying patient parameters to an operator of the medical device. In particular, the display monitors of the emergency medical device are arranged such that the operator may continuously view the patient parameters in order to constantly monitor the condition of a patient.

For example, the medical device may include a secondary display monitor on the same side as a handle for viewing patient parameters during transportation of the patient and the medical device. The display monitors may each display the same patient parameters, a portion of the same patient parameters, or completely different patient parameters to the operator.
