Claims33
A communicative apparatus for use with a defibrillator device, the communicative apparatus comprising:
- an electrode, the electrode configured to be used with the defibrillator device;
- a thin film circuit disposed on a first surface of the electrode, the thin film circuit configured to be a radio-frequency identification (RFID) circuit;
- a gel disposed on a second surface substantially opposite the first surface;
- a gel integrity sensor disposed in physical contact with the gel, the gel integrity sensor communicatively coupled to the thin film circuit;
- and
- a connector electrically coupled to the electrode, the connector configured to electrically connect the electrode to the defibrillator device and communicatively coupled to the thin film circuit.
A communicative apparatus for use with a defibrillator device, the communicative apparatus comprising:
- an electrode;
- a watermark, the watermark integrated with the electrode on a first surface of the electrode;
- a gel, the gel being disposed on a second surface substantially opposite the first surface of the electrode;
- a connector, the connector electrically coupled to the electrode, the connector configured to electrically connect the electrode to the defibrillator device;
- and
- an electrical signal interrupt module communicatively coupled to the connector and the defibrillator device, the electrical signal interrupt module configured to interrupt an electrical signal from the defibrillator device based at least in part on an interrupt signal from the defibrillator device.
A communicative apparatus for use with a defibrillator device, the communicative apparatus comprising:
- an electrode;
- a printed circuit disposed on a first surface of the electrode;
- a display device disposed on the first surface of the electrode, the display device communicatively coupled to the printed circuit;
- a gel disposed on a second surface substantially opposite the first surface;
- a gel integrity sensor disposed in physical contact with the gel, the gel integrity sensor communicatively coupled to the printed circuit;
- a connector electrically coupled to the electrode, the connector configured to electrically connect the electrode to the defibrillator device;
- and
- an electrical signal interrupt module communicatively coupled to the connector and the defibrillator device, the electrical signal interrupt module configured to interrupt an electrical signal from the defibrillator device based at least in part on an interrupt signal from the printed circuit.
A communicative apparatus for use with a defibrillator device, the communicative apparatus comprising:
- an electrode, the electrode configured to be used with the defibrillator device;
- a thin film circuit disposed on a surface of the electrode, the thin film circuit configured to be a storage medium;
- and
- a connector electrically coupled to the electrode, the connector configured to electrically connect the electrode to the defibrillator device and communicatively coupled to the thin film circuit.
