Self-applied defibrillator and method for self-application

Abstract

A self-applicable defibrillator is provided. The defibrillator includes four walls each affixed on one side of a bottom surface. A dividing layer is affixed to each of the four walls creating an electrode enclosure and a circuit enclosure configured to hold circuitry. Access to the circuitry is restricted by the bottom surface and dividing layer. A pair of pads are stored in the electrode enclosure to monitor cardiac rhythm of a user. Each of the pads are placed on the user, by the user, after the user experiences a cardiac precursor. A cover is configured to fit over the electrode enclosure on a side opposite the circuit enclosure, and the cover is opened for the user to access the pads for placement.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
