[0010] The automated external defibrillator described herein will be explained below with reference to the drawings. For the sake of clarity, the explanation of components having the same reference numeral as those already described in the description of the embodiments will be omitted. Furthermore, the dimensions of the components shown in these drawings may differ from the actual dimensions of the components, for the sake of clarity.

[0011] [AED Configuration] Here, we will describe an AED1, which is an example of an automated external defibrillator according to this disclosure. Figure 1 is an external view of the AED1 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the AED1 comprises an AED body 10, a battery pack 11, a cover 12, a cable 13, and a pair of electrode pads 14 and 15.

[0012] The battery pack 11 supplies power to the AED unit 10 to operate it. The battery pack 11 is also connected to the back side of the AED unit 10 in a removable manner, for example.

[0013] The lid portion 12 has a structure that covers the AED main body 10. When the lid portion 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, the main power supply of the AED 1 turns on and the AED 1 starts up. Also, when the lid portion 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the main power supply of the AED 1 turns off. Note that the AED 1 is not limited to a configuration that switches the on / off of the main power supply according to the opening and closing of the lid portion 12. For example, a power button for switching the on / off of the main power supply may be provided on the AED main body 10.

[0014] Each of the electrode pads 14 and 15 contains a gel with viscosity. When the AED 1 is not in use, the electrode pads 14 and 15 are stored in a bag with release papers attached to each gel. Also, the bag storing the electrode pads 14 and 15 is attached inside the lid portion 12, for example. A rescuer using the AED removes the bag from the lid portion 12 and takes out the electrode pads 14 and 15 from the bag. Then, the rescuer attaches the gel portions to the subject's skin with the electrode pads 14 and 15 peeled off from the release papers.

[0015] The cable 13 electrically connects the AED main body 10 and the electrode pads 14 and 15. The AED main body 10 performs processes such as electrocardiogram analysis and electric shock (hereinafter referred to as "discharge process") on the subject when the electrode pads 14 and 15 are attached to the subject.

[0016] [Configuration of AED Main Body] Next, the configuration of the AED main body 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the AED 1 shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the AED main body 10 includes a sound output unit 101, a preschool child mode lamp 102, and a mode switching operation unit 103. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the AED main body 10 further includes a storage unit 104, a high voltage unit 105, an electrocardiogram analysis unit 106, and a control unit 107. The storage unit 104 stores programs and the like for controlling various operations of the AED 1.

[0017] When the AED 1 is activated, the control unit 107 reads and executes the programs and the like stored in the storage unit 104, and controls various operations of the AED 1. More specifically, the control unit 107 functions as a notification unit 131, an electrode pad control unit 132, a power supply control unit 133, a setting unit 134, and a measurement unit 135.

[0018] The notification unit 131 reads voice data such as guidance voice and warning sound for the rescuer from the storage unit 104, and outputs the read voice data to the voice output unit 101. The voice output unit 101 is, for example, a speaker, and when receiving the voice data output from the notification unit 131, outputs voice or warning sound based on the voice data. <000,0097> The electrode pad control unit 132 controls the electrode pads 14, 15 and the electrocardiogram analysis unit 106 so that the electrocardiogram analysis unit 106 performs electrocardiogram analysis. That is, the electrocardiogram analysis unit 106 performs electrocardiogram analysis of the subject through the electrode pads 14, 15 by being controlled by the electrode pad control unit 132.

[0020] After the electrocardiogram analysis by the electrode pad control unit 132, the power supply control unit 133 controls so that a discharge process to the subject is performed. Specifically, the power supply control unit 133 charges the internal capacitor of the high-voltage unit 105 with the battery cell 11A included in the battery pack 11, and controls the battery cell 11A and the internal capacitor so as to discharge from the electrode pads 14, 15.

[0021] The setting unit 134 switches the setting mode of the discharge process between an adult mode suitable for the case where the subject is an adult and a preschool child mode suitable for the case where the subject is a preschool child according to the operation of the rescuer on the mode switching operation unit 103 (see FIG. 1) attached to the AED main body 10.

[0022] The notification unit 131 notifies the user that the current setting mode is preschooler mode when the setting mode is set to preschooler mode. For example, the notification unit 131 outputs sound data to the sound output unit 101 so that an audio guidance message indicating that the current setting mode is preschooler mode is output from the sound output unit 101. Alternatively, the notification unit 131 may also light up or blink the preschooler mode lamp 102 (see Figure 1) located on the AED main unit 10. Details of the notifications made by the notification unit 131 will be described later.

[0023] The measurement unit 135 measures the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) period after electrocardiogram analysis and discharge processing. Hereinafter, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation period will be referred to as the "CPR period". For example, when approximately 2 minutes have elapsed from the start of the CPR period, the measurement unit 135 notifies the electrode pad control unit 132 that the CPR period has ended.

[0024] When the electrode pad control unit 132 receives notification that the CPR period has ended, it instructs the electrocardiogram analysis unit 106 to perform electrocardiogram analysis again. Then, the power supply control unit 133 controls the system so that the discharge process to the patient is performed again after the electrocardiogram analysis is completed by the electrode pad control unit 132.

[0025] [Notification of setting mode by AED in the comparative example] (A) When the main power is turned on, the setting mode is preschooler mode. Here, we will describe the notification of the setting mode by AED51, which is a comparative example. The AED51 of the comparative example has the same configuration as AED1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure, except for the notification by the notification unit 131 which will be described later.

[0026] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating the notification of preschooler mode by the AED51 in the comparative example. Figure 3(A) shows the change over time of the setting mode notification when the setting mode is set to preschooler mode when the main power of the AED51 is turned on. Figure 3(B) shows the change over time of the setting mode notification when the setting mode is set to adult mode when the main power of the AED51 is turned on, and the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the main power is turned on.

[0027] In Figure 3, the area indicating the period during which the preschooler mode lamp 102 (see Figure 2) is lit (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "lit period") is hatched, while the area indicating the period during which the preschooler mode lamp 102 is off (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "off period") is not hatched.

[0028] Referring to Figures 2 and 3(A), the notification unit 131 in the comparative example AED51 notifies that the setting mode is the preschool child mode when the main power is turned on and the setting mode is set to the preschool child mode.

[0029] For example, the notification unit 131 of the AED51 is controlled to output a voice guidance G1 that says, "This is preschooler mode. If you are using it for elementary school children or older, please switch the switch to elementary school children to adults." In addition, the notification unit 131 of the AED51 keeps the preschooler mode lamp 102 lit continuously from the time the main power is turned on until the end of the CPR period.

[0030] (B) When the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the main power is turned on. Furthermore, referring to Figures 2 and 3(B), let's assume that when the main power of the AED51 is turned on, the setting mode is adult mode, and after the main power is turned on, the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode. In this case, the notification unit 131 of the AED51 will notify that the setting mode is preschooler mode when the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode.

[0031] In other words, the notification unit 131 of the AED51 controls the system so that voice guidance G1 is output when the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode. The notification unit 131 of the AED51 then keeps the preschooler mode lamp 102 lit continuously from the moment the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode until the end of the CPR period.

[0032] [Notification of setting mode by AED1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure] (A) When the main power is turned on, the setting mode is preschooler mode. Next, the notification of the setting mode by the AED1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure will be described. Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the notification that the AED1 is in preschooler mode according to the embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4(A) shows the change over time of the setting mode notification when the setting mode is set to preschooler mode when the main power of the AED1 is turned on. Figure 4(B) shows the change over time of the setting mode notification when the setting mode is in adult mode when the main power of the AED1 is turned on, and the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the main power is turned on.

[0033] In Figure 4, as in Figure 3, the area indicating the illumination period of the preschooler mode lamp 102 (see Figure 2) is hatched, while the area indicating the off period of the preschooler mode lamp 102 is not hatched. Also in Figure 4, the area indicating the flashing period of the preschooler mode lamp 102 (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "flashing period") is displayed with alternating hatched and unhatched sections.

[0034] Referring to Figures 2 and 4(A), the notification unit 131 of the AED1 notifies that the setting mode is the preschool child mode when the main power is turned on. At this time, the notification unit 131 is controlled to provide both an audible and a visual notification, for example.

[0035] Specifically, the notification unit 131 controls the output of the voice guidance G1 from the sound output unit 101. The notification unit 131 also changes the blinking cycle of the preschooler mode lamp 102 while the voice guidance G1 is being output.

[0036] More specifically, in the comparative example AED51, as shown in Figure 3(A), the preschooler mode lamp 102 is illuminated from the time the main power is turned on until the end of the CPR period. In contrast, in the embodiment of the present disclosure AED1, as shown in Figure 4(A), the preschooler mode lamp 102 is blinked while the voice guidance G1 is output, and the preschooler mode lamp 102 is illuminated after the voice guidance G1 is output.

[0037] In this way, both audible and visual notifications are provided, making the current setting mode easy to understand. Furthermore, the flashing of the preschooler mode lamp 102 as a visual notification increases the likelihood that rescuers will notice the current setting mode.

[0038] In addition, the notification unit 131 notifies the user when the main power is turned on, and at a predetermined timing after the notification, if the setting mode is the preschooler mode, it will again notify the user of the current setting mode.

[0039] More specifically, as described above, the measurement unit 135 starts measuring the CPR period from the start timing of the CPR period. Then, a predetermined time before the end timing of the CPR period, the measurement unit 135 notifies the notification unit 131 that the predetermined time before the end timing of the CPR period is approaching. The predetermined time is, for example, a time within the range of 10 to 20 seconds. Here, as an example, let's assume that the notification from the measurement unit 135 to the notification unit 131 is made 20 seconds before the end timing of the CPR period.

[0040] When the notification unit 131 receives the above notification from the measurement unit 135, it checks the current setting mode. If the current setting mode is the preschooler mode, the notification unit 131 then sends another notification indicating that the setting mode is the preschooler mode.

[0041] Specifically, the notification unit 131 controls the audio output unit 101 to output, for example, an audio guidance G2 saying, "Preschooler mode is selected." At the same time, the notification unit 131 switches the preschooler mode lamp 102 from solid to blinking. In this way, in addition to the notification when the AED1 is powered on, the setting mode is notified again, making the current setting mode easier to understand.

[0042] Furthermore, if the voice guidance G2 is output or the preschooler mode lamp 102 flashes immediately after the start of the CPR period or in the middle of the CPR period, it may cause anxiety to the rescuer. In contrast, with AED1, as described above, the notification that it is in preschooler mode is given again just before the end of the CPR period, such as 20 seconds before the end. Therefore, the rescuer can check the current setting mode a little before the discharge process is performed. In addition, it is possible to encourage the rescuer to check the setting mode without causing anxiety to the rescuer.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4(A), the notification unit 131 continues to flash the preschooler mode lamp 102 not only while the voice guidance G2 is being output, but also from the time after the voice guidance G2 is output until the end of the CPR period. This increases the likelihood that the rescuer will notice the current setting mode, even in situations where the rescuer might miss the audible notification, such as when the surroundings are noisy.

[0044] (B) When the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the main power is turned on. Furthermore, referring to Figures 2 and 4(B), let's assume that when the main power of AED1 is turned on, the setting mode is adult mode, and after the main power is turned on, the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode. In this case, the notification unit 131 of AED1 will notify the user of the current setting mode when the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode.

[0045] Specifically, the notification unit 131 controls the system so that voice guidance G1 is output when the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode. The notification unit 131 also blinks the preschooler mode lamp 102 while voice guidance G1 is being output. After voice guidance G1 is output, the notification unit 131 switches the preschooler mode lamp 102 from blinking to solid. The notification after voice guidance G1 is output is the same as the notification shown in Figure 4(A), so a detailed explanation will not be repeated here.

[0046] In the example described above, the notification unit 131 changes the blinking cycle of the preschooler mode lamp 102, i.e., switches the preschooler mode lamp 102 from solid to blinking, as a visual notification that the setting mode is preschooler mode. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the notification unit 131 may also change the color of the preschooler mode lamp 102 as a visual notification.

[0047] For example, the notification unit 131 may illuminate the preschooler mode lamp 102 in yellow during the illumination period shown in Figure 4(A) and Figure 4(B), and illuminate the preschooler mode lamp 102 in red during the flashing period shown in Figure 4(A) and Figure 4(B).

[0048] Referring again to Figure 1, the AED unit 10 may also have a display 110 at a position indicated by a dashed line. In this case, the notification unit 131 shown in Figure 2 will display the current setting mode on the display 110. The notification unit 131 may also change the display mode of the display 110 when notifying that the setting mode is the preschool child mode.

[0049] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of how the notification unit 131 shown in Figure 2 can change the display mode of the display 110. Referring to Figures 2, 4, and 5, let's assume, for example, that the setting mode of the AED1 is the preschool child mode. In this case, the notification unit 131 can control the background color of the display 110 to yellow during the illumination period shown in Figure 4(A) and Figure 4(B), as shown on the left side of Figure 5, and change the background color of the display 110 from yellow to red during the blinking period shown in Figure 4(A) and Figure 4(B).

[0050] Furthermore, the change in the display mode of the display 110 is not limited to changing the background color as described above; it may also include changing the displayed characters, changing the background pattern, or switching between lighting and blinking the background or characters.

[0051] [Notification via AED regarding deformation] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the notification of being in preschooler mode by an AED1 according to a modified embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6(A) shows the change over time of the notification of the setting mode when the setting mode is set to preschooler mode when the main power of the AED1 according to the modified embodiment is turned on. Figure 6(B) shows the change over time of the notification of the setting mode when the setting mode is set to adult mode when the main power of the AED1 according to the modified embodiment is turned on, and the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the main power is turned on.

[0052] The notice shown in Figure 6(A) is the same as the notice shown in Figure 4(A), so a detailed explanation will not be repeated here.

[0053] Referring to Figures 2 and 6(B), assume that when the main power of the modified AED1 is turned on, the setting mode is adult mode, and after the main power is turned on, the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode. In this case, the notification unit 131 of the modified AED1 is controlled to output voice guidance G1 from the sound output unit 101, similar to the notification shown in Figure 4(B).

[0054] Furthermore, the notification unit 131 of the modified AED1 controls the system so that, similar to the notification shown in Figure 4(B), if the setting mode is the preschool child mode, a voice guidance G2 is output from the sound output unit 101 a predetermined time before the end of the CPR period.

[0055] In the notification shown in Figure 4(B), the preschooler mode lamp 102 blinks while the voice guidance G1 is being output, and lights up after the voice guidance G1 is output. In contrast, in the modified AED1, the notification unit 131 does not change the state of the preschooler mode lamp 102 before and after the output of the voice guidance G1. That is, the notification unit 131 keeps the preschooler mode lamp 102 continuously lit from the start of the voice guidance G1 output until the voice guidance G2 is output.

[0056] Furthermore, if the modified AED1 is equipped with a display 110 (see Figure 2), the notification unit 131 of the modified AED1 can be controlled so that the display mode of the display 110 does not change before and after the output of the voice guidance G1.

[0057] Thus, it is highly likely that the change in setting mode after the main power is turned on was done intentionally by the rescuer. Furthermore, in the modified AED1, in such cases, the illumination status of the preschooler mode lamp 102 and the display mode of the display 110 do not change before or after the output of the voice guidance G1. This avoids causing inconvenience to the rescuer.

[0058] As described above, in the AED1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure, the setting unit 134 switches the discharge processing setting mode between an adult mode, which is suitable when the person being examined is an adult, and a preschooler mode, which is suitable when the person being examined is a preschooler, in response to an operation by the rescuer. The notification unit 131 also notifies that the setting mode is the preschooler mode if the setting mode is set to the preschooler mode when the AED1 is powered on, or if the setting mode is switched to the preschooler mode after the AED1 is powered on. Furthermore, the notification unit 131 also notifies that the setting mode is the preschooler mode again at a predetermined timing after the notification if the setting mode is set to the preschooler mode.

[0059] In this configuration, in addition to notifications when the AED1 is powered on or when the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode, a further notification is sent at a later time indicating that the device is set to preschooler mode, making the current setting mode easier to understand.

[0060] Furthermore, in the AED1, the notification unit 131 provides both audible and visual notifications as part of the above-mentioned notification.

[0061] This configuration, which provides both audible and visual notifications, further increases the likelihood that rescuers will notice the current setting mode.

[0062] In addition, the AED1's measurement unit 135 measures the CPR period after electrocardiogram analysis and discharge processing. The notification unit 131 then, if the setting mode is set to preschooler mode, a predetermined time before the end of the CPR period, will again notify that the setting mode is preschooler mode.

[0063] This configuration allows rescuers to check the current setting mode before the discharge process takes place.

[0064] In addition, in AED1, the notification unit 131 provides audible and visual notifications before the predetermined time mentioned above, and continues providing visual notifications from the end of the audible notification until the end of the CPR period.

[0065] This configuration, where a visual notification follows an audible notification, increases the likelihood that a rescuer will notice the current setting mode, even in situations where they might miss the audible notification, such as in noisy environments.

[0066] Furthermore, for AED1, the specified time range is between 10 and 20 seconds.

[0067] If a notification were to be sent immediately after the start of the CPR period, it could cause anxiety and confusion among the rescuers. In contrast, with the configuration described above, the notification is sent near the end of the CPR period, allowing rescuers to confirm the setting mode without causing them anxiety.

[0068] In addition, the notification unit 131 of the AED1 performs at least one of the following visual notifications: changing the flashing cycle of the preschooler mode lamp 102 provided in the AED1, changing the color of the preschooler mode lamp 102, and changing the display mode of the display 110 provided in the AED1.

[0069] This configuration makes it more certain to inform rescuers that the device is set to preschooler mode.

[0070] Furthermore, in the modified AED1, if the setting mode is switched to preschooler mode after the AED1 is powered on, the notification unit 131 will provide an audible notification as described above, and will not change the lighting state of the preschooler mode lamp 102 or the display mode of the display 110 before or after the audible notification.

[0071] In this way, if the rescuer switches the setting mode to preschooler mode themselves, the configuration ensures that the illumination state of the preschooler mode lamp 102 or the display mode of the display 110 does not change before or after the audible notification, thereby avoiding causing inconvenience to the rescuer.

[0072] Although embodiments of this disclosure have been described above, the technical scope of this application should not be interpreted as being limited by the description of these embodiments. These embodiments are examples, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications of the embodiments are possible within the scope of the invention described in the claims. The technical scope of this application should be determined based on the scope of the invention described in the claims and the scope of its equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
