Hospital Wearable Defibrillator
Details
Device typeWearable defibrillation system: An assembly of devices worn by a patient to continuously monitor the patient's heart rhythms for the detection of life-threatening arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and to defibrillate the heart (restore normal rhythm) with electrical shocks. Monitoring is performed with dry, non-adhesive electrodes and the patient is alerted by the device prior to electrical shock delivery, allowing a conscious patient to disarm the treatment shock; should the patient be unconscious the system releases gel over the electrodes and delivers a shock. The system consists of a wearable vest containing the electrodes and a portable defibrillator carried by the patient.
