First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wearable automated external defibrillator, comprising:
- two or more defibrillation modules that are wearable on one of a body and a limb of a patient, each defibrillation module having a defibrillation subsystem, the two or more defibrillation modules each having a housing, a power source and an energy reservoir in the housing and a patient interface assembly integrated into the housing of each defibrillation module, a first defibrillation module generating more than one positive pulses of a multiphasic therapeutic pulse and a second defibrillation module generating more than one negative pulses of the multiphasic therapeutic pulse;
the patient interface assembly of each defibrillation module being wearable on one of a body and a limb of a patient;
each patient interface assembly making contact with a piece of skin of the patient; and
wherein the two or more defibrillation modules are capable of delivering the multiphasic therapeutic pulse to the patient through the patient interface assemblies of the two or more defibrillation modules.

19. A defibrillation method, comprising:
-
providing two or more defibrillation modules that are wearable on one of a body and a limb of a patient wherein each defibrillation module has a housing, a defibrillation subsystem in the housing and at least one patient interface assembly integrated into the housing of each defibrillation module that makes contact with a piece of skin of the patient; generating, collectively by the two or more defibrillation modules each having a power source and an energy reservoir in the housing, a multiphasic therapeutic pulse, wherein a first defibrillation module generates more than one positive pulses of the multiphasic therapeutic pulse and a second defibrillation module generating more than one negative pulses of the multiphasic therapeutic pulse; and delivering the multiphasic therapeutic pulse to the patient through the patient interface assemblies of the two or more defibrillation modules. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 23)
