1. A system for use on a patient, wherein said system requires an operator for deployment on the patient, and the system may be operated by various classes of operators assigned varying levels of access, said system comprising:
- a chest compression device;
defibrillation electrodes for supplying a defibrillating shock to the patient;
identification means for determining the level of access of an operator of the system; and
a computer operably connected to the identification means, said computer programmed to permit the compression device to be placed on the patient and permit operation of the compression device when the compression device is placed on the patient regardless of the operator'"'"'s permitted level of access;
wherein the computer is further programmed to prohibit delivery of a shock through the defibrillation electrodes for operators having a first permitted level of access and to allow delivery of a shock through the defibrillation electrodes for operators having a second permitted level of access.
