Abstract
In one embodiment, a defibrillation assembly energizable through pad removal is provided. The defibrillation assembly includes a mechanical switch that is in an open position when the circuitry is not in use; an energy storage element that supplies power to the mechanical switch; circuitry configured to generate a defibrillation waveform, wherein the circuitry is isolated from the energy storage element by the mechanical switch; andelectrode pads through which the defibrillation waveform is delivered to a patient, wherein a removal of at least one of the electrode pads from an initial position to a further position causes the power to flow to the circuitry through the mechanical switch.
