Appl. No.:

12/131267

Inventors:

John C. Daynes - Redmond WA, US
James S. Neumiller - Redmond WA, US
Kenneth J. Peterson - Bellevue WA, US
Richard C. Nova - Kirkland WA, US
Thomas J. McGrath - Everett WA, US

Assignee:

Physio-Control, Inc. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320106, 607 5

Abstract:

A method for operating an external medical device such as a defibrillator includes obtaining a data set from a battery pack and examining the data set to determine whether the battery pack is authenticated for use in the external medical device. If the examination does not confirm the authentication, the method includes causing the device to follow a non-authenticated battery pack protocol. The non-authenticated battery pack protocol may include drawing power from the non-authenticated battery pack only if it is the only available source of power for the external medical device. It may include limiting functionality of the external medical device. It may include modifying the battery status information display for the non-authenticated battery pack. A power system for an external medical device may include a power source external to the medical device and including a memory which stores data indicative of an authorized status of the power source and a processor in the medical device configured to analyze the data and to control a function of the medical device based at least in part on the authorization status.

International Classification:

A61N 1/39

US Classification:

607 5, 607 6, 607 7, 607 8

Abstract:

A modular external defibrillator system in embodiments of the teachings may include one or more of the following features: a base containing a defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock to a patient, (b) one or more pods each connectable to a patient via patient lead cables to collect at least one patient vital sign, the pods operable at a distance from the base, (c) a wireless communications link between the base and a selected one of the two or more pods to carry the at least one vital sign from the selected pod to the base, the selection being based on which pod is associated with the base.

US Classification:

320106, 607 5, 607 29, 607 60, 607 61, 320166

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a medical device can be used with a power adapter system. In addition, it can receive a data set from the power adapter system, and examine the data set to determine whether the data set confirms or not an authentication of the power adapter for use with the medical device. If the authentication is not confirmed, the external medical device can operate differently than otherwise. For example, power can be drawn more slowly from the power adapter system.
