EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR WITH POWER AND BATTERY SHARING CAPABILITIES WITH A POD
First Claim
1. A monitoring system, comprising:
- a portable base including a base battery;
a patient parameter monitoring pod including a pod battery, the patient parameter monitoring pod configured to receive patient data, the patient data including at least one patient vital sign, and the patient parameter monitoring pod is operable to collect patient data without receiving power from the portable base; and
a power supply sharing link between the portable base and the patient parameter monitoring pod, wherein the portable base includes a power module configured to determine a pod battery charge condition and a base battery charge condition, and the power supply sharing link is configured to share power between the pod battery and the base battery based on the patient parameter monitoring pod battery charge condition and the base battery charge condition.
