AED device
This invention relates to an AED device that is stored in a packaging, and where the AED device comprises at least one electrode pad being located on the breast of a patient, where one or more electrode pads are connected to an electrical system being adapted to transmit an electrical pulse to the one or more electrode pads when an activating unit is activated, and where the AED device formed as a compact unit consisting of a housing in which a sound emitting device and a display are built-in.
WO 2010/111028 Al discloses a pacemaker, where a more electrodes are positioned on a breast of a patient. In an embodiment, the pacemaker can be used as an AED device, but it is not explained precisely how. Nothing in the publication suggests, how the pacemaker can be used as an AED device.
US 8,798.743 Bl discloses an AED device where electrodes are positioned individually on the breast of a patient. Further the electrodes are connected to an independent electrical device by a wire. WO 2014/088626 Al discloses another compact AED device. In this AED device the electrodes are pulled out of a housing. Further the housing is equipped with a sound emitting device from which instructions can be transmitted to a user. An AED device of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 2 408 521 Bl, in which the electrodes are positioned in each module, from those the electrode pads can be pulled out of each module and being positioned on a breast of a patient. Moreover, this known AED device is equipped with sound emitting device and a display.
On this background it is a purpose with the invention to provide an AED device, that is easy to operate and with minimal risk to wrongly operate and positioning the AED device. The purpose is fulfilled with an AED device of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1, that is characterized in, that the housing is formed in a stiff or woven material and such that the one or more electrode pads and the electrical system are constructed such that the one or more electrode pads in the housing are fixed in the same position in the housing.
In this way an AED device is provided that in use is easy and logical to use, since the whole AED device shall be placed on the breast of a patient, after which instructions in form of sounds and images are provided. Expedient embodiments of the invention are if, as stated in claim 2, that the AED device has two electrode pads, or as stated in claim 3, that the AED device has one electrode pad.
Further it is advantageous if, as stated in claim 4, that the housing has two end sections being connected to an intermediate section and where the electrode pads are positioned in the two end sections whereas the electrical system is poisoned in the intermediate section or in the end sections.
In case that the size of the breast differs from the normal size, it is advantageous if, as sated in claim 5, that at least a spunky element is positioned between the end sections and the intermediate section.
It is expedient if, as stated in claim 6, that the housing is formed oblong, or as stated in claim 7, that the geometry of the housing is formed as three straight parts.
Further it is expedient, if, as stated in claim 8, that the activating unit is formed with a connection wire to the electrical system or, as stated in claim 9, that the activating unit is formed with a wireless connection to the electrical system, such as a Bluetooth connection, an IR connection or other NFR connections. Fina"tly iriS"iexpieTiie"nt i a"s~stated in claim~107that the~AED-device-is forme-d¬ as a disposable device.
The invention will now be explained in connection with the drawing on which
Fig. 1 discloses a prior art AED device.
Fig. 2 discloses an AED device according to the invention in a first embodiment.
Fig 3 discloses a preferred second embodiment of the AED device according to the invention, whereas
Fig. 4 discloses an AED device according to the invention in a third embodiment.
The AED device illustrated on fig. 1 is in its entirety denoted 1. 4 and 5 denotes electrode pads, that via connection parts 2,3 are connected to each other.
Through the connection parts 2,3 wires are led, where one wire is denoted 8 in an area where the connection between the connection part 3 and the electrode pad 4 can be extended. From the connection part 2 a wire 6 is lead being connected to an electric unit 7 having a display 7a and a sound emitting device 7b. The AED device works on the way such that when the electrode pads are positioned on the breast of a patient 20, the electric unit is activated for transferring a pulse, (current impulse) to the electrode pads 4,5. The entire process is settled with that on the display information is transmitted to a user that operates the AED device, and further what the user shall do.
The connection part 2 is positioned in an area, where it is possible for a user to give heart massage. Further the connection parts can be equipped with a sensor, being able to registration whether the heart massage activity is performed correct. Having regard to fig. 2 and fig". 3, it wilPbe explained how the AED device is constructed in a first embodiment and a variant of the first embodiment.
As it can be seen on fig. 2 the AED device consists of a housing 9, that can be rigid although it can be formed in a woven material.
Inside the housing all necessary electronics are accommodated in the housing 9.
The housing on fig 2 is shown with an oblong form, being constructed of two end sections 10,11 being connected to each other by an intermediate section 21. Under the end sections 10,11 electrode pads 13, 14 are placed. 17, 18 denotes spunky elements, that makes it possible to adjust the length of the housing 9, corresponding to the size of a patient's breast. In most cases it is not necessary to adjust the length, meaning that the spunky elements are not ultimate necessary to incorporate in the housing 9
Moreover 15 denotes a display having a sound emitting device, said display on the figure is placed centrally but can also be placed f. inst. in one of the end sections 10,11. In the latter case the area in the intermediate section can be used to mounting of sensors monitoring heart rhythm, pressure and the possibility to guide the correct heart massage and further having makings for indication of pressure places by heart massage, or it can be formed with a thin part for providing heart massage.
Finally, 16 denotes a push button that via a wire 19 is connected to in the housing built in electronic unit, that function as the prior art electrical unit on fig. 1, said push button function to electrical activation of pulse emission.
On fig. 3 the preferred embodiment of the invention is seen. It differs from fig. 2 in the geometry of the AED device, as shown, with three straight parts with a middle part 21 being connected to two parts 10,11 perpendiculars to the middle part. In the same way, as explained in connection with fig. 2, there can be provided sensors at the area 23 reading heart rhythm, deep of a user 's massage pressure and possibility to correct optimal heart rhythm, said sensors can be connected by a wire or wireless to the electrical unit, that in turn informs whether the user do the heart massage correct. As shown on fig. 3 the AED device have two displays 15, ut it is of course aTso~pdssib†e to have-only one display. The electrical unit can be mounted in the middle part 21 or where it is appropriate.
Moreover, it is possible for both fig. 2 and 3 embodiments, via a wireless connection, to establish connection from the electrical unit to an external unit by which it is possible to survey and/or control/operate f. inst. a prehospital staff.
The AED device as described in the figures 2 and 3 in relation to fig. 1 is that the electrode pads in the housing 9 are fixed mounted, and that the electrical unit is built in the housing 9.
This means that a user operating the AED device with few instructions and actions can position the AED device correct and safe control it including operate the same with a great overview. The embodiment differs from those on fig. 2 and 3 in that only one electrode pad is used. As it can be seen the AED device consists of a compact housing 9a having a display 15b including a sound emitting device and a push bottom 16a.
The electrical unit inside the housing is able to control the only electrode pad in order to lead it function as if there were two electrodes.
Another possibility is to construct the only electrode as two parts being connected together with an isolation material.
