Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a defibrillation electrode defining a first medial axis within a plane of a surface of the defibrillation electrode; a human figure printed on the surface of the defibrillation electrode, the human figure defining a second medial axis within a plane of the human figure on the surface of the defibrillation electrode; and an electrode symbol printed on the human figure, wherein the human figure is oriented on the defibrillation electrode such that the second medial axis of the human figure is positioned at an angle relative to the first medial axis of the defibrillation electrode, wherein the angle is non-zero such that when the defibrillation electrode is applied to a patient with the head of the patient and the head of the human figure in the same direction, the second medial axis will be substantially parallel to a corresponding medial axis of the patient, wherein the angle defines proper placement of the defibrillation electrode on the patient for defibrillation therapy.
