Abstract
A docking station can engage a medical device such as a defibrillator. In a typical application, the docking station is mounted to a crash cart, and the medical device can be docked or undocked from the docking station. When the medical device is docked with the docking station, the medical device is held securely. In one embodiment, the docking station includes a base and a platform that supports the medical device, and the platform has at least some freedom to rotate relative to the base.
