System and method for presenting defibrillator status information while in standby mode
First Claim
1. A defibrillator system, comprising:
- a defibrillator having programmable circuitry, the programmable circuitry including a video display and having a user “
on”
state and a user “
off”
state, the user “
on”
state comprising an initiation of a rescue; and
a user interface for activating the programmable circuitry in the user “
off”
state to send status information to the video display, wherein the status information can be obtained from the defibrillator without placing the defibrillator in the user “
on”
state.

Abstract
A video display coupled to an automatic external defibrillator (AED) and capable of full-motion video can support added functionality of the AED. One advantage of the video display is that it can be used to present standby status information of the AED quickly to an AED operator while the AED is in a low power standby mode or non-operative state. The video display may present status information in response to touching the display or activating a button while the AED is in a non-operative state. When the AED is in an operative state, such as during a rescue, the display may comprise a graphical user interface that may be navigated using touch-screen technology or buttons built into the AED. During a rescue, the video display may present live or stored electrocardiograms (ECGs) and instructions for operating the AED.
