Abstract

See full text

A portable medical device, such as an external defibrillator, transmits data to another device, such as a computer. The portable medical device determines when the data transmission has ended, and automatically powers down after data transmission has ended. For example, the portable medical device may receive a signal from the other device, which is generated by the other device to acknowledge receipt of the complete data transmission from the portable medical device, and power down in response to receipt of the signal. In some embodiments, the portable medical device also determines whether it is appropriate to automatically power down after the data transmission has ended, and powers down based on this determination. For example, the portable medical device may determine that it is currently being used to treat a patient, in which case powering down may be inappropriate.
