Embodiment Construction

[0013] For the purposes of this invention, the structural terms "self-test circuit", "status indicator", "encoder", "light source", "photodetector", "decoder", "display", "speaker", "Electrode pads / pads", "electrocardiogram ("ECG") monitor", "defibrillation controller", "shock source" and "battery" and synonyms and related terms shall be construed broadly as known in the field.

[0014] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be presented herein with respect to various intensity modulations of coded status indicators for visually indicating both the basal status and the test status of the AED.

[0015] refer to figure 1 The AED 10 of the present invention includes a self-test circuit 11 which preferably operates on an automatic and periodic basis to test critical components when the AED is in the standby state. Once the self-test protocol is complete, the self-test circuit 11 issues a base status signal 110 in...

Abstract

An automated external defibrillator (''AED'') (10) employing a self-test circuit (11) and an encoded status indicator. The self-test circuit (11) automatically tests AED (10) and dependent upon the tests, generates both a base status signal (110) indicative of an operational readiness of AED (10) and a test status signal (120) indicative of self-test information of AED (10). The encoded status indicator concurrently visually indicates both the base status signal (110) and the test status signal (120) with the visual indication of the base status signal (110) being perceivable to a human eye and the visual indication of the test status signal (120) being unperceivable to the human eye. The encoded status indicator may employ a light source (14) for emitting a status light (20) and an encoder (13) to intensity modulate the status light (20) as emitted by the light source (14) as a function of an encoding of the base status signal (110) and the test status signal (120) by the encoder (13).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an automated external defibrillator ("AED"). In particular, the present invention relates to a status indicator emitting coded status light including a basic status of operational readiness of an automatic external defibrillator and a test status of self-test information of the automatic external defibrillator. Background technique [0002] Specifically, as is known in the art, the AED may employ a readiness light, such as a green light emitting diode (LED), to emit a visual indication of the AED's readiness for operation (ie, the visual basis status of the AED). For example, the ready light may blink to visually indicate the AED's standby mode when the AED is ready for use, or may be a solid color to visually indicate that the AED is in an operational use mode, or may blink at a different color and rate , to visually indicate an AED self-test failure and attention is required (eg, operational failure, temper...
