ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an external defibrillator whose language of operation can be easily changed when the defibrillator is deployed for use. Defibrillators include, manual defibrillators, automatic or semi-automatic external defibrillators ("AEDs") and defibrillator trainers. In one embodiment, the invention provides a way to change the language in which the defibrillator delivers instructions to a user. Defibrillators of this invention would contain multiple languages in their memory. During the set-up of the defibrillator some or all of the languages could be designated as a language in which a prompt will be offered. Additionally, during set-up, one language will be designated as the default language. Once the defibrillator is deployed for use in an emergency, the operator will indicate a language preference for the defibrillator operating instructions. Once the user has indicated which language the prompts should be in, the defibrillator will then begin instructing the user in the use of the defibrillator in that language. Conversely, if the user fails to make any language preference indication, the defibrillator will begin instructing the user in the use of the defibrillator in the default language. In an alternate embodiment, the defibrillator issues each instruction in multiple languages.
