  • Defibrillator with a multiple-mode interface
    Patent number: 6920354
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a defibrillator having both a manual and an AED mode with corresponding user commands for both modes.

When the door is in the open position, a keypad is revealed having manual commands which preferably take the form of buttons. In another actual embodiment, the door includes a switch which senses when the door is opened and sends the defibrillator into manual mode. The door includes a front side having AED command buttons, and a back side having manual mode command buttons. The door conceals a keypad having further manual mode command buttons.
