Defibrillation assembly energizable through electrode enclosure manipulation

Abstract

In one embodiment, a defibrillation assembly energizable through electrode enclosure manipulation is provided. The defibrillation assembly includes a magnetically triggered reed switch; an energy storage element that supplies power to the magnetically triggered reed switch; circuitry configured to generate a defibrillation waveform, wherein the circuitry is isolated from the energy storage element by the electromechanical component; and a case within which at least a portion of the housing is located and comprising an electrode enclosure within which a magnet is positioned that keeps the magnetically triggered reed switch in an open position, wherein an opening of the case that comprises removal of the magnet from the position causes the magnetically triggered reed switch to switch into a closed position and for the power to flow to the circuitry through the magnetically triggered reed switch.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
