Abstract: Accessories of a medical device, such as a defibrillator, are described. The accessories reduce delays in treating or monitoring a patient by increasing the efficiency of using, and the ease of use of, the medical device. An adjustable kickstand is movable between a collapsed and extended position to recline the medical device. In the reclined position, a display of the medical device can be more easily viewed by the user. Storage bags can be coupled to the medical device to efficiently store accessories for use with the medical device. The stored accessories can be coupled to the medical device while the accessories are stored within the storage bags. A port guard can protect and shield a connection between a cable and a port of the medical device to prevent the cable (e.g., an ECG cable) from being disconnected from the port of the medical device.

Abstract: A combination for purifying a liquid, such as used cooking oil, unrefined edible oil, biodiesel fuel, rendered fat, or dielectric fluids comprising a container comprising a holding portion having at least one wall portion and at least one portion that is designed to fail structurally upon heating of the liquid, such as at least one cap portion, which is connected detachably to the holding portion. The combination also comprises at least one purifying material, such as an adsorbent powder, contained in the holding portion of the container. Upon contact of the container with the liquid and heating of the liquid, at least one of the at least one portion(s) that is designed to fail structurally provides at least one opening in the container, whereby the liquid is contacted by the at least one purifying material, and the liquid is purified.
