ABSTRACT:
A portable defibrillator (10) with a common therapy/data port (12). A set of electrodes (34) is connected to the therapy/data port to connect the defibrillator to a patient. If connected to a patient, the defibrillator operates in a normal mode of operation where it analyzes a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG), and, if required, applies defibrillation therapy through the port to the patient. A communication cable (42) is connected to the therapy/data port to connect the defibrillator to an auxiliary component (44). If connected to an auxiliary component, the defibrillator operates in a data communication mode of operation where data may be transmitted to and received from the auxiliary component through the therapy/data port. A test cable is connected to the therapy/data port to connect the defibrillator to a test load. If connected to a test load, the defibrillator operates in a user test mode of operation to allow a user to test the operation of the defibrillator. Preferably, the portable defibrillator automatically determines whether it is connected to a patient, an auxiliary component, or a test load.
