MANUALLY INITIATING WIRELESS TRANSMISSION OF RESUSCITATION EVENT DATA TO MEDICAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A transmitting external defibrillator for transmitting resuscitation event data to a receiving external defibrillator distinct from the transmitting external defibrillator, the receiving external defibrillator including a first housing, a first energy storage module in the first housing for storing a first electrical charge, a first defibrillation port for guiding via electrodes the first electrical charge to a person, and a first wireless communication module, the transmitting external defibrillator comprising:
- a second housing;
a second energy storage module in an interior of the second housing that stored a second electrical charge;
a second defibrillation port adapted to be coupled to electrodes, and via which the second electrical charge was guided to the person;
a memory adapted to store event data about when the second electrical charge was guided to the person;
a bump sensor in the interior of the second housing, for generating motion information of the second housing;
a bump detector configured to determine whether the second housing has been subjected to a local bump event based on the generated motion information;
a second wireless communication module; and
a processor configured to, responsive to a determination that a local bump event has occurred, cause the second communication module to establish a wireless communication link with the first communication module,in which the second communication module is further adapted to transmit a data signal that encodes the resuscitation event data over the communication link.

Abstract
An external defibrillator can include a bump sensor for generating motion information and a bump detector for determining whether the external defibrillator has been subjected to a local bump event. The external defibrillator can transmit wirelessly a data signal encoding resuscitation event data to a second external defibrillator over a wireless communication link between the two devices.
