ABSTRACT:
A system that includes a programming device and a defibrillator provides a self-adapting defibrillator induction feature to test the effectiveness of the defibrillator in detecting and terminating fibrillation of a heart, such as ventricular fibrillation. A fibrillation induction protocol and values for parameters of the protocol are selected. The defibrillator attempts to induce fibrillation according to the selected protocol and parameter values. Parameter values are modified and new protocols are selected until fibrillation is successfully induced, detected and terminated.
