Automated pediatric defibrillator
First Claim
1. A device for assisting a rescuer in delivering therapy to an adult or pediatric patient, the device comprisinga user interface comprising a display and/or audio speakers, the user interface being configured to deliver prompts to a rescuer to assist the rescuer in delivering therapy to a patient;
- a processor configured to provide prompts to the user interface and to perform an ECG analysis algorithm on ECG information detected from the patient;
at least one detection element configured to make a determination without rescuer input via the user interface that a pediatric patient is being treated, wherein the detection element is configured to make the determination based on the output of a force or pressure sensor for sensing force or pressure from the weight of the patient;
wherein if the determination is that a pediatric patient is being treated, the processor modifies the ECG analysis algorithm to use an ECG analysis algorithm configured for a pediatric patient rather than for an adult patient.

Abstract
A device for assisting a rescuer in delivering therapy to an adult or pediatric patient, the device including a user interface comprising a display and/or audio speakers, the user interface being configured to deliver prompts to a rescuer to assist the rescuer in delivering therapy to a patient; a processor configured to provide prompts to the user interface and to perform an ECG analysis algorithm on ECG information detected from the patient; at least one detection element configured to determine without rescuer input via the user interface that a pediatric patient is being treated; wherein, if a pediatric patient is detected, the processor modifies the ECG analysis algorithm or the prompts provided to the user interface to use an ECG analysis algorithm or prompts adapted for a pediatric patient rather than for an adult patient.
