ABSTRACT:
In order to prevent a person handling a defibrillator during manufacture and in conjunction with implantation of the defibrillator from receiving an electrical shock due to a fault, a protective arrangement is provided for the defibrillator. This protective arrangement is in the form of a plug part detachably connectable to the defibrillator housing and having terminal pins engaging into the connecting sockets of the defibrillator which is present for receiving the electrode leads. The terminal pins produce an electrically conductive connection in the sockets and are directly connected to one another inside the plug part via an electrical resistor. In case of a fault, the high-voltage energy generated between the connecting sockets is harmlessly absorbed in the resistor.
