DEFIBRILLATOR WITH AUTOMATIC TURN ON, DEFIBRILLATOR STORAGE CASE, AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an AED that activates automatically when needed to resuscitate a patient. SOLUTION: An automated or semi-automated defibrillator (AED) 42 automatically turns on when an operator removes it from a storage location. This automatic activation often decreases the time it takes the operator, particularly an inexperienced or anxious operator, to set up and use the AED 42 to resuscitate the patient in cardiac arrest. Furthermore, the AED 42 can be designed to automatically turn off when the operator returns it to the storage location. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
