Defibrillator with mutable sound prompts
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An external defibrillator comprising:
- an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge;
a defibrillation port configured to guide via electrodes stored electrical charge to a person;
a processor configured to cause a verbal prompt to be issued to a rescuer using the defibrillator in connection with the defibrillator executing a protocol; and
an interface configured to receive a muting input, in whichif a first muting input is received via the interface, the verbal prompt is caused to not be issued even though the defibrillator is executing the protocol, in whichthe processor can cause at least two types of verbal prompts to be issued, in whichreceiving the first muting input causes one of the two types of verbal prompts to not be issued but still permits the other of the two types of verbal prompts to be issued, and in whichreceiving a second muting input causes the other of the two types verbal prompts to not be issued.

4. An external defibrillator comprising:
-
an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured to guide via electrodes stored electrical charge to a person; a processor configured to cause a verbal prompt to be issued to a rescuer using the defibrillator in connection with the defibrillator executing a protocol; an interface configured to receive a muting input by which a user selectively controls issuance of the verbal prompt, in which, if the muting input is received, the verbal prompt is caused to not be issued even though the defibrillator is executing the protocol, further in which the muting input is received via a wire; a housing that contains the energy storage module; and a socket in the housing, in which the wire terminates in a plug that is plugged in the socket.

5. An external defibrillator comprising:
-
an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured to guide via electrodes stored electrical charge to a person; a processor configured to cause a verbal prompt to be issued to a rescuer using the defibrillator in connection with the defibrillator executing a protocol; and an interface configured to receive a muting input by which a user selectively controls issuance of the verbal prompt, in which, if the muting input is received, the verbal prompt is caused to not be issued even though the defibrillator is executing the protocol further in which the muting input is received via a wire, in which the wire is coupled to an external device.

6. An external defibrillator comprising:
-
an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured to guide via electrodes stored electrical charge to a person; a processor configured to cause a first type and a second type of verbal prompts to be issued to a rescuer using the defibrillator in connection with the defibrillator executing a protocol; and an interface configured to receive a muting input, in which, if the muting input is received, the first type of verbal prompts is caused to be issued less loudly relative the second type even though the defibrillator is executing the protocol. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
