Dynamically adjustable multiphasic defibrillator pulse system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multiphasic pulse generator, comprising:
- a subsystem that generates a first phase of a pulse, the subsystem having a power source and an energy reservoir, wherein the first phase has a shape and is one of a positive phase of the pulse and a negative phase of the pulse;
a separate subsystem that generates a second phase of the pulse, the separate subsystem having a second power source and a second energy reservoir, wherein the second phase is shaped independently from the shape of the first phase and is an opposite polarity phase to the first phase; and
a switch element that switches between the subsystem and the separate subsystem to generate a therapeutic pulse having at least one positive phase and at least one negative phase.

Abstract
A dynamically adjustable multiphasic pulse system and method are provided. The dynamically adjustable multiphasic pulse system may be used as pulse system for a defibrillator or cardioverter. The dynamically adjustable multiphasic pulse system may include a subsystem that generates a first phase of a pulse, a separate subsystem that generates a second phase of the pulse and a switch element that switches between the subsystem and the separate subsystem to generate a therapeutic pulse having at least one positive phase and at least one negative phase.

10. A method for generating a therapeutic pulse, comprising:
-
generating one or more positive phases for a pulse using a power source and an energy reservoir; generating one or more negative phases for a pulse using a second power source and a second energy reservoir; and switching between the one or more positive phases and the one or more negative phases to generate a therapeutic pulse having at least one positive phase and at least one negative phase. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
