External Defibrillator with Multiple Language Prompting
First Claim
1. An external defibrillator for delivering electrotherapy to a patient, comprising:
- a memory having data stored there in representative of audible information related to operation of the defibrillator in a first language and a second language;
a controller coupled to the memory to retrieve the data representative of the audible information in the first language and the second language;
a first aural output controller coupled to the controller to receive the data representative of the audible information in the first language from the controller and configured to generate first electrical signals corresponding to the audible information in the first language;
a first aural output device coupled to the first aural output controller to generate audible output in response to the first electrical signals, the audible output corresponding to the audible information in the first language;
a second aural output controller coupled to the controller to receive the data representative of the audible information in the second language from the controller and configured to generate second electrical signals corresponding to the audible information in the second language; and
a second aural output device coupled to the second aural output controller to generate audible output in response to the second electrical signals, the audible output corresponding to the audible information in the second language.

Abstract
A multilingual defibrillator is capable of concurrently providing audible prompts for the operation of the defibrillator in multiple languages. The defibrillator includes a memory for storing data files representative of audible prompts in a plurality of languages. A controller is coupled to the memory and configured to select data files of audible prompts in first and second languages and generate first electrical signals and second electrical signals representative of the audible prompts in the first and second languages, respectively. First and second audible sound generators are coupled to the controller to receive respective electrical signals and configured to generate audible output in response to the respective electric al signals.
