ABSTRACT:
A defibrillator featuring a treatment mode and a training mode comprises an energy source, an electrode connector, a controller, and training mode circuitry. The controller comprises a feature for connecting the energy source to the electrode connector and a pause actuator for permitting a user to inhibit electrical stimulation when no longer required. The training mode circuitry simulates the operation of the defibrillator in treatment mode. The defibrillator also includes a method of operating comprising the steps of: 1) providing a defibrillator having an energy source, a controller, and electrode connectors, wherein the controller further comprises circuits for actuating the defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock from the defibrillation energy source to the electrode connectors and 2) operating the defibrillator in a training mode to simulate delivery of a defibrillation shock from the energy source to the electrode connectors without delivering a defibrillation shock from the energy source to the electrode connectors.
