Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for transferring medical information from a first medical monitoring device to a second device are provided. Medical information from the first medical monitoring device is encoded as an ECG waveform and the ECG waveform having the encoded medical information is provided to the second device as an input ECG waveform.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A defibrillator, comprising: electrodes configured to be attached to a patient through an electrode terminal and through which medical information of the patient is obtained; a controller coupled to the electrodes and operable to encode the medical information of the patient as an ECG waveform; and a connector coupled to the controller and comprising an adapter configured to be coupled to the defibrillator through the electrode terminal, the adapter further comprising snap connectors configured to be coupled to ECG lead cables and provide the ECG waveform having the encoded medical information therethrough, wherein the medical information includes both of an ECG of the patient and an event summary information for the patient, the controller further operable to switch the electrode terminal between use with the electrodes for obtaining medical information and use with the adapter for providing the ECG waveform having the encoded medical information therethrough.
