Pediatric and adult defibrillator
First Claim
1. An automated external defibrillator comprising:
- one or more capacitors for delivering a defibrillating shock to a patient;
one or more electronic ports configured to receive signals indicative of sensed physiological parameters of the patient, and to communicate the defibrillating shock to the patient based on a signal produced from an analysis of the sensed physiological parameters of the patient;
a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration;
an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process;
one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a the defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and
a user interface that is configured to provide a first type of resuscitation instructions when the mode-specific user configuration is in the pediatric operating mode and a second type of resuscitation instructions when the mode-specific user configuration is in the adult operating mode, the first type of resuscitation instructions being different from the second type of resuscitation instructions.

Abstract
This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.
