  • Patent number: 11298558
    Abstract: This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.

  • Patent number: 10561852
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the presently described methods, apparatus, and systems can facilitate decreasing a boot time of a medical device, e.g., an amount of time between when a medical device or system is first turned on or powered on and when the medical device or system is ready to perform its intended function. In some embodiments, the present disclosure can also facilitate conducting tests on the functionality of various operational circuits shortly or immediately after the device/system has been activated. In some cases, the emergency medical devices/systems can report on the status or functionality of operational circuits even before the emergency medical device is fully booted up and ready to perform some or all of its intended functions.

  • Publication number: 20190099608
    Abstract: A medical device management system comprising a defibrillating apparatus, which comprises a plurality of electrodes configured to monitor ECG signals and deliver a defibrillation shock. The system including a communication unit configured to establish a secured wireless network, automatically generate a first text message upon receipt of a signal indicative of deployment of the defibrillating apparatus, associate the first text message with a unit identifier, automatically send the first text message, automatically generate a second text message comprising defibrillation shock status upon delivery of the defibrillation shock, associate the second text message with the unit identifier, automatically send the second text message; and a handheld device associated with a caregiver and configured to receive the first and second text messages and associate the first and second text messages with the specific defibrillating apparatus based on the unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus.
