Abstract:
1. An external defibrillator for defibrillating a person, and for receiving resuscitation event data from a transmitting device distinct from the external defibrillator, the transmitting device including a second housing and a second wireless communication module, the external defibrillator comprising: a first housing; an energy storage module in an interior of the first housing configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured to guide via electrodes the electrical charge to the person; a first wireless communication module configured to establish a wireless communication link with the second communication module, the first communication module being further adapted to receive wirelessly a data signal transmitted by the second communication module over the communication link, the data signal encoding the resuscitation event data stored in the transmitting device; a memory configured to store the resuscitation event data that has been decoded from the data signal; a processor configured to monitor a reception parameter of the communication link while the data signal is being received, and to set an alert flag if the processor determines from the reception parameter that reception of the data signal may be discontinued prematurely; and a user interface configured to output an alerting user notification responsive to the alert flag being set, in which
