Patent number: 10912709Abstract: A chest compression monitor for measuring the depth of chest compressions achieved during CPR. A displacement detector produces a displacement signal indicative of the displacement of the CPR recipient's chest toward the recipient's spine. A signaling mechanism provides chest compression indication signals prompting a CPR provider to provide a chest compression force at a desired depth and rate. The device is held to the dorsal surface of the hand during use and provides a display for feedback, which is readily visible to the CPR provider.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Mark H Totman, Timothy S McGough, David Barash

Patent number: 9089718Abstract: A method of treating a patient for ventricular tachycardia using a wearable defibrillator includes monitoring the patient for a predetermined condition via one or more electrodes on the defibrillator, sending a message to the patient in response to the predetermined condition, activating the defibrillator so that the defibrillator delivers defibrillation energy to the patient, and storing at least one of the results of the monitoring, sending and activating steps in a memory on the defibrillator. The method also includes downloading information stored in the memory of the defibrillator to a base station having an external interface, and transmitting the information downloaded from the memory of the base station to an external location via the external interface of the base station.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: CARDIAC SCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: James M.

Publication number: 20030055460Abstract: A defibrillator for delivering therapeutic electrical energy to a patient's heart generally includes a power source, electrodes, a patient impedance sensor, and a controller. The electrode are capable of being applied to a patient and are operably coupled to the power source. The impedance sensor is couplable to the patient. The controller controls the power source and is communication with the patient impedance sensor. In response to the patient impedance and based thereon, the controller can configure a variety of circuit options to deliver a low current flow defibrillation waveform , which has a substantially constant tilt, to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2002Publication date: March 20, 2003Inventors: James M.

Patent number: 6148233Abstract: Electrode devices optimized for long-term wear in conjunction with an external cardiac defibrillator are described. In preferred embodiments the electrode devices include electrodes that consist of multiple segments, thereby providing enhanced efficacy and impedance characteristics relative to conventionally shaped continuous electrodes. In certain embodiments the conductive surface for contacting a patient's skin of the electrodes is continuous but contains regions separated by open spaces, thereby similarly providing enhanced efficacy and impedance characteristics. The electrode devices are fabricated using materials selected to minimize skin irritation and discomfort.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Cardiac Science, Inc.Inventors: James M.
