Patent number: 9514276Abstract: An external defibrillator can include a bump sensor for generating motion information and a bump detector for determining whether the external defibrillator has been subjected to a local bump event. The external defibrillator can transmit wirelessly a data signal encoding resuscitation event data to a second external defibrillator over a wireless communication link between the two devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2011Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Nathan Woodruff Daynes, John Carlton Daynes

Publication number: 20160136446Abstract: A wearable cardiac defibrillator (“WCD”) system includes a speaker for issuing audio prompts to the patient and bystanders. The speaker may be located in a head component such as a headset or glasses or an earpiece or a pendant, or be pressed against the body of the patient. The volume of the sound may be adjusted or muted.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2014Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: John Carlton Daynes, Robert Reuben Buchanan, Douglas Keith Medema, Isabelle Banville

Patent number: 9213801Abstract: Embodiments of the present concept are directed to medical devices. For example, a medical device including a display for providing feedback to a rescuer who is performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions to a patient. The display is structured to graphically indicate an instantaneous value of a measured compression depth of the chest of the patient. The display includes an indicator range that corresponds at least in part to a compression depth range of some of the measured compression depths. An indicator is represented as progressing along the indicator range as the depth changes within the compression depth range to represent a value of the measured compression depth in relation to the indicator range. Depending on the measured compression depth, the indicator progresses at a variable rate relative to a difference in the measured compression depth.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Richard C. Nova, Robert G. Walker, John Carlton Daynes

Patent number: 8862227Abstract: Embodiments of the present concept are directed to external defibrillators that include an electrode connection port having multiple connection options, and include a detection device to determine an electrode connection configuration so as to provide an appropriate electrical shock to a patient. The detection device detects the electrode connection configuration of a plug connector for connected electrodes to determine if the plug connector is in an adult orientation or a pediatric orientation. The external defibrillator is configured to a deliver an electrical shock with less energy when the pediatric orientation is detected rather than the adult orientation.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Ryan William Apperson, John Carlton Daynes, Kelly Schneiderman

Publication number: 20140100496Abstract: In one embodiment, a manual CPR device, also known as a CPR derrick, includes a frame that is put close to a patient who is on the ground. The device also includes a piston that can be moved up and down, and is aligned to be over the patient's chest. The device also has an actuator that the rescuer can operate manually so as to move the piston up and down, which will deliver compressions to the patient's chest. A bottom stop prevents the compressions from being too deep. In some embodiments, proper dimensioning of the CPR derrick permits the rescuer to perform CPR chest compressions while standing up, i.e. without kneeling. The rescuer may be able to perform higher quality CPR, and for a longer time, giving more opportunity to a life-saving team to arrive in time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Bethany Joyce Johnson, John Carlton Daynes, Fred W. Chapman, Robert P. Marx, Jr., Gregory T. Kavounas, Erik Carl Bernhard von Schenck

Patent number: 8676312Abstract: An external defibrillator can receive wirelessly a data signal transmitted by a transmitting device over a communication link. The defibrillator can include a processor configured to monitor a reception parameter of the communication link while the data signal is being received and to set an alert flag if the processor determines from the reception parameter that reception of the data signal may be discontinued prematurely. The defibrillator can also include a user interface capable of outputting an alerting user notification responsive to the alert flag being set.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: John Carlton Daynes, Nathan Woodruff Daynes

Patent number: 8090440Abstract: An external defibrillator is customized for at least one person, i.e., an anticipated patient, through creation of a profile for the anticipated patient that allows the defibrillator and users of the defibrillator to provide customized treatment to the patient. The profile may include treatment parameters for the anticipated patient, such as defibrillation therapy parameters selected for the patient. The profile may also include a baseline recording of a physiological parameter of the patient, and medical history and personal information regarding the patient. In some embodiments, the external defibrillator stores a profile for each of one or more anticipated patients within a memory. In other embodiments, a profile for an anticipated patient is stored within a medium associated with that anticipated patient. The medium may, for example, be a removable medium for external defibrillators.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Physio Control, Inc.Inventors: Fred W. Chapman, Richard C. Nova, David Robert Hampton, James M. Owen, Robert Niskanen, John Carlton Daynes, Ronald Eugene Stickney, Rene Ann Young Mitchell, Gregory T. Kavounas
