摘要:
A defibrillator electrode set for a defibrillator and a defibrillator which senses the capacitance of an attached electrode set includes an electrode set coupled to the defibrillator by an adapter cable. The adapter cable and electrode set are pre-connected to the defibrillator prior to use. The electrodes are stored in a sealed foil package to retard gel desiccation prior to use. To reduce the capacitance of the electrode set seen by the defibrillator, the capacitance between the stored electrodes and the foil package is reduced by using a thicker dielectric layer for the layer of an electrode which opposes a wall of the foil package. In a constructed embodiment, one sixteenth inch thick polyethylene foam may be used for the electrode layer opposing the wall of the foil package.

To provide a medical apparatus capable of appropriately reporting an abnormal state to the user. An indicator 9 outputs whether an AED 1 is in an abnormal state. A power supply control unit 8 controls the AED 1. A monitoring unit 15 detects an operation abnormality in the power supply control unit 8. The power supply control unit 8 performs the operation monitoring of the monitoring unit 15 and, when detecting an operation abnormality, causes the indicator 9 to output an abnormal state. The monitoring unit 15 performs the operation monitoring of the power supply control unit 8 and, when detecting an operation abnormality, causes the indicator 9 to output an abnormal state.

An implantable device, such as a pacer, defibrillator, or other cardiac rhythm management device, can include one or more MRI Safe components. In an example, the implantable device includes a capacitor including a first electrode including a first slot extending from a perimeter of the first electrode to an interior of the first electrode. A second electrode is separated from the first electrode by a first distance. The second electrode includes a second slot extending from a perimeter of the second electrode to an interior of the second electrode. The first and second slots are configured to at least partially segment surface areas of the first and second electrodes, respectively, to reduce a radial current loop size in each of the first and second electrodes.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein implantierbares elektronisches Gerät, das mindestens eine elektromagnetische Felderkennungseinheit aufweist, die mit wenigstens einer Antenne verbunden ist. Außerdem ist die Felderkennungseinheit ausgebildet, auf elektromagnetische Felder anzusprechen, die typischerweise in der Umgebung eines Patienten außerhalb der Umgebung eines MRT-Gerätes auftreten und in der Umgebung eines MRT-Gerätes abgeschirmt sind. Darüberhinaus ist die Felderkennungseinheit ausgebildet, die Abwesenheit solcher elektromagnetischer Felder anzuzeigen, die typischerweise in der Umgebung eines Patienten außerhalb der Umgebung eines MRT-Gerätes auftreten und in der Umgebung eines MRT-Gerätes abgeschirmt sind.

A system and method of detecting a loss of electrical contact between a pair of electrodes that are electrically coupled to skin of a subject. The method includes monitoring parameters of a transthoracic impedance between the pair of electrodes in at least one of a low frequency regime and a high frequency regime, detecting an occurrence of chest compressions based on a signal indicative of chest compressions, establishing baseline levels of the parameters in at least one of the low and high frequency regimes, detecting whether changes in at least one parameter exceeds the baseline level by a threshold, determining that at least one electrode of the pair of electrodes is losing electrical contact with the skin responsive to the at least one parameter exceeding the baseline level by the threshold, and issuing an alert in response to a determination that the at least one electrode is losing electrical contact.
