Filed:

Nov 7, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/008243

Inventors:

Kevin Kelly Covey - Marysville WA, US
Kelly JoAnn Locke - Woodinville WA, US
Shawn Robert Bertagnole - Lake Stevens WA, US

Assignee:

Medtronic Emergency Response Systems, Inc. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

A61N 1/362

US Classification:

607 5

Abstract:

The invention presents techniques for making the operation of an automated external defibrillator easier to understand for an operator. The automated external defibrillator includes defibrillation electrodes packaged in a sealed, easy-to-open pouch. Visual cues such as instructive pictures show the operator how to open the pouch, retrieve the defibrillation electrodes and correctly position the electrodes on a patient's chest.

International Classification:

A61N 1/39

US Classification:

607 5

Abstract:

A user interface method and apparatus is described for use with a defibrillator () such as an automated external defibrillator (AED). The user interface comprises a plurality of layered user interface components which become available to the operator of the defibrillator () as they become necessary or appropriate during the operation of the defibrillator () and treatment of the patient. In one embodiment, the layered user interface components comprise an on/off actuator (), a lid (), an electrode package () containing defibrillation electrodes (), and a shock key (), as well as accompanying visual and aural instructions for operating the defibrillator () and for treating the patient.

Appl. No.:

10/136040

Inventors:

Kelly Locke - Woodinville WA, US
Richard Cardin - Duvall WA, US

Assignee:

Medtronic Physio-Control Manufacturing Corp.

International Classification:

H02J007/00

US Classification:

320/111000

Abstract:

A selectively removable charging pack is provided, which is operable to recharge the power source of a portable external defibrillator when coupled thereto. The charging pack comprises an elongate body of generally triangular shaped cross-section having a front region, a back region, a top region, and left and right sides and that form a bottom region at the convergence of left and right sides. The body houses a charging source in the form of charging cells that are operable to recharge the power source of a portable external defibrillator when inserted in its charging well. The front of the charging pack is formed with a latch, which may be utilized by a user to remove the charging pack from the defibrillator. The latch automatically secures the charging pack in the charging well when the charging pack is inserted into the defibrillator.

Appl. No.:

10/139942

Inventors:

Kelly Locke - Woodinville WA, US
Shawn Bertagnole - Lake Stevens WA, US
Richard Cardin - Duvall WA, US

Assignee:

Medtronic Physio-Control Manufacturing Corp.

International Classification:

A61N001/39

US Classification:

607/005000

Abstract:

The invention provides a method for sequentially activating a medical device and exposing at least a portion of the user interface of the medical device to an operator, in a single action to be performed by the operator. The medical device, for example, an automated external defibrillator (AED), includes a housing having a user interface and a lid that is coupled to the housing. The lid, when closed, is covering at least a portion of the user interface. In one embodiment, the medical device further includes an on/off button. The button is configured such that, when an operator depresses the button, it causes a switch to close to thereby activate the medical device, and further causes the lid to open via a latch mechanism.
