Patent number: 11903741Abstract: Neural network based heart rhythm classifiers are described. The neural network is configured to receive an electrocardiogram segment and to output an indication of whether the electrocardiogram segment represents a heart rhythm that is suitable for treatment by a defibrillation shock. Preferably, the received electrocardiogram segment is not transformed or processed prior to its reception by the neural network and no features of the electrocardiogram are identified to the neural network. In some embodiments, the received electrocardiogram segment is the sole input to the neural network. In various embodiments, the neural network is configured to classify electrocardiogram segments obtained while CPR was being performed on the patient. Classifiers that output a characteristic of CPR are also described. Such outputs may include an indication of whether CPR was being performed while the ECG was being detected, compression depth, etc. The described classifiers are well suited for use in defibrillators.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin C. Freed, David P. Walter, III

Patent number: 11839770Abstract: Status messages are wirelessly broadcast from medical devices (e.g., defibrillators) as advertisements that don't require the establishment of a wireless connection with listeners. The listeners are configured to act on, or forward received status messages as appropriate. The listeners may optionally include supplemental information supplied by the listener device when forwarding a status message to a management server. The listener may optionally analyze received status messages to determine whether an action should be taken based at least in part on status information in the message. Actions performed by the listener may include initiating a connection with the transmitting device to facilitate uploading new information from the defibrillator, updating the defibrillator's firmware, etc. Optionally, some of the advertisements are configured as beacons. The advertisements/beacons may be transmitted using a Bluetooth Low Energy or other suitable protocols.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Andy Sturman, David Picco, Rory M.

Patent number: 11691021Abstract: Several defibrillators, defibrillator architectures, defibrillator components and methods of operating defibrillators are described. In one aspect, a modular defibrillator architecture is described. A base unit provides a fully functional defibrillator. The functionality of the base unit can be supplemented by attaching an interface unit to the base unit or by connecting a smartphone the base unit. Such devices provide connectivity as well as a screen for displaying supplementary graphics and/or videos which are useful to support both emergency and maintenance & monitoring activities. In some embodiments a battery pack may also or alternatively be coupled to the base unit to prolong the unit's shelf life before recharging or replacement of its batteries is required.

Patent number: 11331471Abstract: A variety of electrode pad cartridges are described that are suitable for use with a defibrillator. In one aspect the cartridge includes a housing and a tray that carries a pair of defibrillation electrode pads. At least a portion of the tray is slidably received within the cartridge housing such that the electrode pads are received within the housing. The tray is configured to be slidably pulled from the cartridge housing while the housing remains attached to the defibrillator to provide access to the electrode pads to facilitate use of the defibrillator.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Gordon Moseley P.

Patent number: 11318322Abstract: Several defibrillators, defibrillator architectures, defibrillator components and methods of operating defibrillators are described. In one aspect, a defibrillator (as for example an automated external defibrillator) that can be powered by a mobile communication device such as a smart cellular phone or a tablet computer is described. Utilizing a phone (or other mobile communication device) as the power supply for an external defibrillator allows the external defibrillator to be smaller and, in some circumstance, removes the need for a battery that stores sufficient energy for shock delivery—which would need to be checked and/or replaced on a regular basis. Additionally, when desired, certain control functionality, computation, data processing, and user instructions can be handled/presented by the mobile communications device thereby further simplifying the defibrillator design and improving the user experience.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Rory M. Beyer, Charles Stonewall Montgomery
