    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is characterized by measuring a patient parameter associated with a human body; in response to the patient parameter, retrieving a maximum expected device parameter; and setting a limit on an energy source such that during defibrillation of the patient a defibrillation parameter associated with the maximum expected device parameter is within a defined tolerance. In another embodiment, a method is characterized by specifying at least one device parameter limit of a defibrillation unit; and in response to the at least one specified device parameter, determining a prediction confidence level at which the device parameter limit is exceeded for one or more values of a patient parameter. In another embodiment, a method is characterized by specifying a prediction confidence level to which a defibrillation unit device parameter is correlated with one or more values of a patient parameter; and in response to the specified prediction confidence level, determining a defibrillation unit device parameter from one or more values of a patient parameter. In other embodiments, circuitry is used to at least partially effect the foregoing-described methods; the circuitry can include and/or utilize virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foregoing-described method, depending upon the design choices of the system designer. In other embodiments, signal bearing media at least partially bear the foregoing-described methods.

    Abstract: A medical device includes an audible medium giving user instructions in a first language and a visual medium giving user instructions in a second language. In an embodiment of the invention, the medical device is an external defibrillator with user instructions in an audible medium in a first language and instructions in a visible medium in the second language. In one embodiment, an external defibrillator includes an audio speaker that delivers instructions to the operator in a first language and a visual medium that presents instructions to the operator in a second language. The visual medium may present text instructions in the second language. It may also present pictorial representations of the text instructions in proximity to the text instructions. Alternatively, the visual medium may be a display screen on the external defibrillator. A method for providing a user interface to an operator of a medical device includes providing instructions to the operator audibly in a first language and visually in a second language.

    Abstract: A portable electronic unit, such as a defibrillator, includes an autotest system for automatically self-testing various electrical components within the unit during quiescent periods. The autotest system includes an autotest routine that performs an extensive array of rigorous yet time-consuming tests that are impractical to perform during normal modes of operation of the unit. A real-time clock can be set to initiate the autotest routine at a time when the unit is unlikely to be used for its normal mode of operation. The autotest system provides a strip chart printout of the results of the various self-tests performed on the unit, and provides messages on a visual display of any error conditions. If the autotest system detects a needs service malfunction, the operator must acknowledge the error with an input to the unit before the unit will enter into its normal mode of operation. If the autotest system detects a service mandatory malfunction, the unit will discontinue any normal mode of operation until the malfunction is corrected. The autorest system immediately discontinues the autorest routine upon power-up of the unit by an operator for use of the unit in its normal mode of operation.
