DEFIBRILLATOR WITH TRAINING FEATURES

摘要

The invention is a defibrillator having a treatment mode and a training mode, comprising an energy source; an electrode connector; a controller, the controller comprising means for connecting the energy source to the electrode connector; and training mode means for simulating the operation of the defibrillator in treatment mode. The invention also includes a method of operating a defibrillator comprising steps of providing a defibrillator comprising a defibrillation energy source, a controller and electrode connectors, the controller comprising means for actuating the defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock from the defibrillation energy source to the electrode connectors and operating the defibrillator in a training mode to simulate delivery of a defibrillation shock from the energy source to the electrode connectors without delivering a defibrillation shock from the energy source to the electrode connectors.
