Abstract:
A system for detection of the position of electrodes of a training defibrillator on a training manikin comprising:a training defibrillator comprising an open electrical circuit and a plurality of electrodes; anda training manikin comprising an open electrical circuit, skin and a first and second set of electrical conductive faces disposed in hidden positions under said skin, wherein said first set of faces corresponds to a correct position for placement of said defibrillator electrodes and said second set of faces corresponds to an incorrect position for placement of said defibrillator electrodes,wherein said defibrillator electrodes and said electrical conductive faces each constitute a half of a capacitor, such that a closed electrical circuit is formed when said electrodes are placed in a location corresponding to the location of said electrical conductive faces, andwherein the location of said defibrillator electrodes is determined from the measurement of the current through each of said electrical conductive faces.
