Utility module system
First Claim
1. A defibrillator system comprising:
- a defibrillator comprising;
an energy storage device configured to store an electrical charge;
a defibrillation port;
a display;
a defibrillator processor configured to control the display and when an electrical charge is applied to the defibrillation port to defibrillate a patient;
a defibrillator data connect port; and
a first utility module comprising;
a parameter module configured to detect a parameter of a patient;
a data outlet configured to engage the defibrillator data connect port to transmit data to or to receive data from the defibrillator; and
a module processor configured to control the parameter module and to control communication between the defibrillator and the parameter module.

Abstract
A defibrillator system optimizes the timing and manner of applying a defibrillator charge to a patient based upon data provided to the defibrillator from a utility module or one or more external devices. A parameter module on the utility module provides the defibrillator with patient parameter information. Devices external to the utility module may provide the utility module with coaching data that the utility module may pass through to the defibrillator as a proxy to the external devices. The utility module may also provide external devices with patient data that the utility module may pass through to the external devices as a proxy to the defibrillator on a scheduled or other basis. The utility module may additionally provide a reserve of power to enable defibrillators to be used where power is unavailable and to enable defibrillators to deliver multiple charges more readily anywhere, anytime.
