External defibrillator system with diagnostic module
First Claim
1. A base station which interfaces to an external defibrillator including a diagnostic indicator, the base station including:
- a memory which stores computer-executable process steps defining a diagnostic test;
a coupler adapted to couple said base station to the external defibrillator; and
a processor which executes the process steps stored in said memory to perform said diagnostic test on the external defibrillator and to generate a signal for said diagnostic indicator, said signal being indicative of the status of the external defibrillator based on said diagnostic test.

Abstract
A method of treating a patient for ventricular tachycardia using a wearable defibrillator includes monitoring the patient for a predetermined condition via one or more electrodes on the defibrillator, sending a message to the patient in response to the predetermined condition, activating the defibrillator so that the defibrillator delivers defibrillation energy to the patient, and storing at least one of the results of the monitoring, sending and activating steps in a memory on the defibrillator. The method also includes downloading information stored in the memory of the defibrillator to a base station having an external interface, and transmitting the information downloaded from the memory of the base station to an external location via the external interface of the base station.

4. A base station selectively coupled to an external defibrillator and comprising:
-
a base interface for coupling to defibrillator interface;
a diagnostic module adapted to perform selective tests on one of said external defibrillator and said base station; and
a display coupled to said diagnostic module to display indicating a result of said selective tests. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. An external defibrillation system comprising:
-
a defibrillator for delivering predetermined defibrillation energy to a patient;
a diagnostic indicator which indicates operational defects in the defibrillator; and
a diagnostic interface performs diagnostics on the defibrillator in order to detect operational defects in the defibrillator;
wherein the indicator provides an indication of operational defects in the defibrillator when said diagnostic interface detects operational defects in the defibrillator;
wherein said diagnostic interface is adapted to transmit results of diagnostics, including information relating to operational defects of the defibrillator to an external location.
