1. A system for use on a patient, wherein said system requires an operator for deployment on the patient, and the system may be operated by various classes of operators assigned varying levels of access, said system comprising:
- a chest compression device;
defibrillation electrodes for supplying a defibrillating shock to the patient;
identification means for determining the level of access of an operator of the system; and
a computer operably connected to the identification means, said computer programmed to permit the compression device to be placed on the patient and permit operation of the compression device when the compression device is placed on the patient regardless of the operator'"'"'s permitted level of access;
wherein the computer is further programmed to prohibit delivery of a shock through the defibrillation electrodes for operators having a first permitted level of access and to allow delivery of a shock through the defibrillation electrodes for operators having a second permitted level of access.

Abstract
A system for resuscitation of a heart attack victim. The system includes CPR device which compresses the victim'"'"'s chest, a defibrillator which may be used to defibrillate the patient, and an identification system for identifying the person operating the system. Depending on the identity of the operator, the system permits varying degrees of access to components and enablement of the functions of the various subsystems.

2. A medical treatment system for treatment of a patient, wherein said medical treatment system is intended to be used in an environment wherein the device may be removed from a secure storage device and deployed upon the patient by a first operator pending arrival of a second operator, said medical treatment system comprising:
-
a plurality of medical devices;
means for controlling physical access to the plurality of medical devices;
means for controlling functional enablement of a medical device included within the plurality of medical devices;
means for determining the level of access of the first operator and permitting physical access to a medical device by the first operator while prohibiting functional enablement of the medical device to the first operator;
means for determining the level of access of the second operator and permitting functional enablement of a medical device included within the plurality of medical devices upon determining the level of access of the second operator;
wherein the means for controlling physical access is operable to permit physical access to a medical device included within the plurality of medical devices depending upon the level of access of the first operator; and
the means for controlling functional enablement is operable to permit functional enablement of a medical device included within the plurality of medical devices depending upon the level of access of the second operator. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A medical treatment system for treatment of a patient, wherein said medical treatment system is intended to be used in an environment wherein the device may be removed from a secure storage device and deployed upon the patient by any one of a number of potential operators, said medical treatment system comprising;
-
an automatic external defibrillator;
means for controlling physical access to the automatic external defibrillator;
means for controlling functional enablement of the automatic external defibrillator;
means for determining the level of access of a particular operator attempting to use the medical treatment system and permitting physical access to the automatic external defibrillator based on the level of access of the particular operator;
wherein the means for controlling physical access is operable to permit physical access to the automatic external defibrillator depending upon the level of access of the particular operator; and
the means for controlling functional enablement is operable to permit or prohibit functional enablement of the automatic external defibrillator depending upon the level of access of the particular operator.
