Publication number: 20160270738Abstract: In at least one example, a medical device is provided. The medical device includes at least one therapy electrode, at least one electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode, at least one acoustic sensor, and at least one processor coupled with the at least one acoustic sensor, the at least one ECG electrode, and the at least one therapy electrode. The at least one processor can receive at least one acoustic signal from the at least one acoustic sensor, receive at least one electrode signal from the ECG electrode, detect at least one unverified cardiopulmonary anomaly using the at least one electrode signal, and verify the at least one unverified cardiopulmonary anomaly with reference to data descriptive of the at least one acoustic signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Applicant: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Shane S. Volpe, Gregory R. Frank, Thomas E. Kaib, Steven J. Szymkiewicz, Gary A. Freeman

Patent number: 9370666Abstract: A medical device is disclosed that includes one or more treatment electrodes, one or more sensors, and one or more controllers connected to the one or more treatment electrodes and one or more sensors. The medical device also includes one or more response mechanisms connected to the one or more controllers. The one or more controllers are configured to receive input from the one or more response mechanism and are also configured to determine whether a patient wearing the medical device actuated the one or more response mechanisms based, at least in part, on the input received from the one or more response mechanisms. In some disclosed embodiments, the medical device is a wearable defibrillator.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Edward J. Donnelly, John G. Clark, Steven J. Szymkiewicz, Thomas E. Kaib, Marshal Linder

Publication number: 20160143585Abstract: A wearable monitoring device includes a plurality of cardiac sensing electrodes, a monitor, at least one motion sensor, and a controller. The plurality of cardiac sensing electrodes are positioned outside a body of a subject and to detect cardiac information of the subject. The monitor administers a predetermined test to the subject, and has a user interface configured to receive quality of life information from the subject. The at least one motion sensor is positioned outside the body of the subject and to detect subject motion during the predetermined test. The controller is communicatively coupled to the plurality of cardiac sensing electrodes, the monitor, and the at least one motion sensor, and receives and stores the detected cardiac information, the quality of life information, and the detected subject motion. The controller further communicates the stored detected subject motion and the quality of life information to a remote computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: Edward J. Donnelly, Thomas E. Kaib, Marshal W. Linder, Steven J. Szymkiewicz, Jason T. Whiting, Shane S. Volpe

Patent number: 9283399Abstract: A wearable treatment device includes a cardiac sensing electrode, a treatment electrode, a user interface, and a sensor. The cardiac sensing electrode detects cardiac information, and the treatment electrode applies treatment to a subject. The user interface receives quality of life information from the subject, and the sensor detects subject activity and wellness information. A controller coupled with the cardiac sensing electrode, the treatment electrode, the user interface, and the sensor receives the detected cardiac information, the quality of life information, and the detected subject activity and wellness information, and determines that treatment is to be applied to the body of the subject based upon the detected cardiac to information. The controller can adjust the treatment based on at least one of the detected subject activity and wellness information and the quality of life information.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Edward J. Donnelly, Thomas E. Kaib, Marshal W. Linder, Steven J. Szymkiewicz, Jason T. Whiting, Shane S. Volpe
