<p>This invention is an automated external defibrillator (10) which automatically performs self-tests on a daily and weekly basis. Tested functions include the presence and interconnection of defibrillator electrodes (50), battery charge state, and the operability of the high voltage circuit. Visual and audible indicators (20, 36, 34), respectively, are actuated to alert an operator if faults are identified. A record of each self-test is stored in memory, and can be subsequently retrieved through a communications port (22).</p> |
