US Patent:

6778860, Aug 17, 2004

Filed:

Nov 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/011952

Inventors:

Alan H. Ostroff - San Clemente CA
Gary R. Mezack - Norco CA

Assignee:

Cameron Health, Inc. - San Clemente CA

International Classification:

A61N 139

US Classification:

607 70, 607 5

Abstract:

A defibrillator circuit for generating a rectangular waveform across a patient from capacitively stored energy and employing a plurality of capacitors initially chargeable to a common voltage and thereafter sequentially switchable into parallel relation with one another so as to raise the voltage supplied to an H-bridge circuit from a point of decay back to said common voltage.

Filed:

Nov 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/015202

Inventors:

Alan H. Ostroff - San Clemente CA, US
William J. Rissmann - Coto de Caza CA, US
Gary P. Mezack - Norco CA, US

Assignee:

Cameron Health, Inc. - San Clemente CA

International Classification:

A61N001/368

US Classification:

607 14, 607 4

Abstract:

A power supply for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for subcutaneous positioning between the third rib and the twelfth rib and using a lead system that does not directly contact a patient's heart or reside in the intrathoracic blood vessels and for providing anti-tachycardia pacing energy to the heart, comprising a capacitor subsystem for storing the anti-tachycardia pacing energy for delivery to the patient's heart; and a battery subsystem electrically coupled to the capacitor subsystem for providing the anti-tachycardia pacing energy to the capacitor subsystem.

Filed:

Mar 9, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/523912

Assignee:

Cardiac Science Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61N 1/40

US Classification:

607 5

Abstract:

A defibrillator module is described which includes a cardiac sensor, a pulse generator and a controller that generates commands responsive to intrinsic cardiac signals for the operation of said pulse generator. The defibrillator module synergistic and arranged so that it can be coupled to a generic patient monitor so that the two can share certain functions. For example, operational parameters and other signals indicative of the operation of the defibrillator module can be shown to the clinician by the patient monitor. Data between the defibrillator module and the patient monitor is exchanged using either a standard or a customized protocol.
