External Defibrillator With Power and Battery Sharing Capabilities With a Pod
First Claim
1. A modular external defibrillator system, comprising:
- a base containing a defibrillator module to deliver a defibrillation shock to a patient;
a patient parameter monitoring pod connectable to a patient via patient lead cables to collect patient data, the patient data including at least one patient vital sign; and
a power supply sharing link between the base and the pod, the pod receiving power from the base via the power sharing link, the pod being operable to collect patient data without receiving power from the base.
