Embodiment Construction

[0041] Some embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to administering therapy to a patient using an ambulatory medical device. Ambulatory medical devices can monitor any of a variety of physiological parameters to identify patient health conditions and provide treatment accordingly. However, patients may need to delay or withhold treatment. In an embodiment, the ambulatory medical device has a response mechanism comprising two response buttons that the patient can press simultaneously to delay treatment. Asking the patient to press both response buttons simultaneously significantly reduces the likelihood of the patient accidentally activating the response buttons to delay treatment, for example in the event the patient falls to the ground and activates a single response button.

[0042] Patients with diseases that cause the deterioration of fine motor skills, such as diabetes and arthritis, may find it difficult to press two responsive buttons at the same time. Accordin...

Abstract

An ambulatory medical device capable of delivering therapy to a patient is provided. The ambulatory medical device comprises at least one controller operatively connected to at least one sensor configured to detect a health disorder of the patient, at least one treatment element configured to deliver therapy to the patient, and at least one response mechanism configured to be actuated by the patient, the at least one response mechanism having one of a first state and a second state. The at least one controller being configured to delay delivery of the therapy to patient for a first predetermined period of time responsive to detection of the health disorder and the at least one response mechanism having the first state, and to deliver the therapy to the patient in response to continued detection of the health disorder, the at least one response mechanism remaining in the first state.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based upon 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) requirements of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 840,787, filed June 28, 2013, entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHOD SOF DELIVERING THERAPY USING ANAMBULAORY MEDICALDEVICE" Priority, the above-mentioned application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Aspects of the invention relate to medical devices, and more particularly, to devices and procedures for delivering therapy using ambulatory medical devices. Background technique [0004] Some ambulatory medical devices deliver treatment to patients. For example, an ambulatory medical device may monitor a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for indications of cardiac abnormalities. In the event that the ambulatory medical device identifies a cardiac abnormality that is treatable via the administration of a therapeutic shock, the ambulatory medical device may initiate a treat...
