DEFIBRILLATOR/MONITOR SYSTEM HAVING A POD WITH LEADS CAPABLE OF WIRELESSLY COMMUNICATING

摘要

A modular external defibrillator system in embodiments of the teachings may include one or more of the following features: a base containing a defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock to a patient, (b) one or more pods each connectable to a patient via patient lead cables to collect at least one patient vital sign, the pods operable at a distance from the base, (c) a wireless communications link between the base and a selected one of the two or more pods to carry patient data from the selected pod to the base, the selection being based on which pod is associated with the base.

主权项

1. A modular external defibrillator system for treating a patient, comprising:
a base including:
one or more therapy cables;a therapy module that, in response to an instruction to deliver a defibrillation shock to the patient, outputs defibrillation shock therapy through the one or more therapy cables;a base transceiver; anda base connector; and a pod having a unique identifier and including:
a patient parameter module having one or more sensors that, when attached to or in close proximity to a patient, collect patient data about the patient that includes one or more patient vital signs;a pod transceiver that, in response to receiving collected patient data from the patient parameter module, transmits some portion or all of the collected patient data to the base transceiver;a pod connector that releasably mates with the base connector and communicates the unique identifier to the base when the pod is mated with the base.
