1. An electrotherapy device for use in providing a stimulation signal to a patient and monitoring the device'"'"'s connection characteristics so as to avoid undesirable conditions, the electrotherapy device comprising:

  • a stimulation signal generator having a therapy signal output attachable to the patient, the stimulation signal generator capable of producing a pulsed stimulation signal in response to a control signal, the pulsed stimulation signal having on and off periods;

    a controller attached to the stimulation signal generator, the controller capable of generating the control signal so as to control the characteristics of the pulsed signal; and

    a feedback connection operatively coupling the therapy signal output to the controller, wherein the controller can determine connection quality by sampling the pulsed signal during the on periods.
