DEFIBRILLATOR WITH PRELIMINARILY CONNECTED ELECTRODE PADS WITH REDUCED SENSITIVITY TO MISTAKEN ASYSTOLE IDENTIFICATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61N1/04 A61N1/39 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. A set of defibrillator electrodes includes an adaptor-cable for connection with the set of electrodes, a pair of electrodes, each of which includes a protective layer, a metal layer, a gel layer, placed above the metal layer, and a dielectric detachable pad, covering the gel layer. The electrode cable electrically connects metal layers with an electrode connector, suitable for connection with the adaptor-cable. The electrodes are kept in a foil envelope until they are used with the electrode connector, connected with the adaptor-cable. The thickness of the layer of each electrode, located between the conducting layer of the electrode and the wall of the foil envelope, is selected in such a way that the capacitance, for which the said layer is dielectric, is not higher than the value, which in a combination with the capacitance of the set of electrodes without the foil envelope and the capacitance of the adaptor-cable, is not higher than the capacitance, indicating an asystole state for the defibrillator. The layer of the detachable pad contains a layer of a specified thickness, constituting approximately one sixteenth of an inch.

EFFECT: invention reduces the probability of the false identification of the asystole state due to the control of a capacity between the foil envelope wall and the conducting layer of the electrode during storage.
