Systems to retain a battery within, and to eject a battery from, a battery receptacle of a medical device, such as a portable defibrillator, are described. A battery receptacle of a medical device includes an element that is configured to engage an inserted battery to prevent, or reduce, movement of the battery within the receptacle and to assist with removing the battery from the receptacle. In an example, the element is a monolithic structure that includes a retention portion and an ejection portion. The retention portion is positioned at a side wall of the battery receptacle, and the ejection portion terminates in a free end positioned a distance from the side wall. When the battery is inserted into the battery receptacle, the retention portion exerts a retention force on a side surface of the battery, and the ejection portion exerts an ejection force on an end surface of the battery.

AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF DEFIBRILLATION PAD LOCATION ON PATIENT'S CHEST
A medical device uses UWB units to infer a position of an adjunct positioned in proximity to an exterior portion of a patient's body. The position information can be used to provide CPR feedback to a rescuer. In other applications, the position information can be used to provide prompts to a user to change the position of the adjunct.
A wearable cardioverter defibrillator system includes a support structure that a patient can wear. The system also includes electrodes that contact the patient, and define two or more channels from which ECG signals are sensed. A processor may evaluate the channels by analyzing their respective ECG signals, to determine which contains less noise than the other(s). The analysis can be by extracting statistics from the ECG signals, optionally after first processing them, and then by comparing these statistics. These statistics may include tall peak counts, amplitudes of peaks compared to historical peak amplitudes, signal baseline shift, dwell time near a baseline, narrow peak counts, zero crossings counts, determined heart rates, and so on. Once the less noisy signal is identified, its channel can be followed preferentially or to the exclusion of other channels, for continuing monitoring and/or determining whether to shock the patient.

Disclosed systems and methods include electronic devices attached to a patient or object that transmit data to other devices over a secure communication channel. The devices can track and/or monitor object(s) and/or patient(s) and transmit the tracked and/or monitored data to other electronic devices.

A master of the two devices transmits a communication signal to another device that, in response, initiates a secure wireless communication channel, causes one or more modules on the device to be powered, and, when powered, transmits the tracked and/or sensed physiological data over the secure wireless communication channel to the master device. Some example master devices transmit the communication signal with an instruction to the device to activate an onboard power source that later may be disconnected after the tracked and/or physiological data is transmitted.

A CPR feedback system, software and methods are provided. A top height sensor can be used to track the height of the patient's chest during the CPR chest compressions, by detecting a top aspect of its location. A depth module may generate, from a detected top aspect, a depth value for a depth reached by a current compression. A counter may determine a compressions number, e.g. for the current compression. A memory may store a depth variable that can return different target values for the target depths of individual compressions. A user interface has an output device that may output an indication for the rescuer, which reflects how well the depth value of the current compression matched a corresponding target value for it. The target values may be set so as to follow a preset profile, or change according to optional measurements of force and other parameters.
An example method includes detecting measurements of a physiological parameter of a patient; identifying a sub-interval of time beginning at a time at which the patient is administered anesthesia that is before the patient is intubated; identifying a portion of the measurements of the physiological parameter detected during the sub-interval of time; and determining an index by analyzing the portion of the measurements of the physiological parameter detected during the sub-interval of time. If the index is greater than a threshold, an alert or report is output.

Both the first battery unit and the second battery unit provide power to the defibrillator during the first operating mode.
Examples of the disclosure include a universal suction cup for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation device having a first circular member extending from a piston-facing surface, and a second circular member concentric to the first circular member extending from the piston-facing surface, the second circular member having a diameter that is less than the first circular member. Example of the disclosure also include suction cups with rigid members to reduce the amount of force necessary to attach the suction cup to a patient. Examples of the disclosure also include a mechanical compression device which can detect the type of suction cup attached to a compression member and activate particular features or settings based on the attached suction cup.
