Patent number: 11298558Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Melissa M. Dascoli, Charles E. Sawyer, Jr., Bill Gastrock, Dustin Boutet, Gary A. Freeman, James Wilson, Brian Stonecipher, Ian Durrant, George Reilly, Mark Bates

Patent number: 10561852Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Jim Murphy, Charles E. Sawyer, Jr., Melissa M. Dascoli, Bruce Edwards, Tim Stever, Allan Scott Baucom, Lawrence W. Peck, Tyler Harrington, Gary A. Freeman, Christine O'Toole, Donald Joseph Paradis
