MEDICAL DEVICE WITH TACTICLE USER INTERFACE

摘要

Medical devices include patient modules and displays, which are all electrically coupled together. The patient modules include a defibrillation therapy module and optionally a monitoring module. The defibrillation therapy modules have circuitry that can discharge electric, defibrillation shock through defibrillation electrodes. Some of these medical devices treat patients with defibrillation shock therapy and can also monitor various patient parameters. The displays have a tactile user interface that can include a touch screen in some examples. The tactile user interface translates any received tactile input into an instruction for the patient module. Some specific examples of the disclosed medical devices are defibrillators.

主权项

1. A medical device, comprising:
a patient module that includes a defibrillation therapy module, the defibrillation therapy module including circuitry that, upon receipt of a control signal, discharges electric, defibrillation shock through one or more defibrillation electrodes; and a display electrically coupled to the patient module, the display having a tactile user interface that includes a touch screen, the tactile user interface, upon receipt of a tactile input, translates the tactile input into an instruction for the patient module.
