Appeal No. 1997-1479
Application No. 08/418,579
August 8, 1996, the undated declaration of Susan Coffland
filed August 16, 1996, and the respective viewpoints of
appellants and the examiner. As a consequence of our review,
we make the determination which follows.
We reverse the examiner’s rejection of appellants’
claims.
Independent claim 15 addresses an automatic defibrillator
simulator and claim 16 sets forth a method for enabling an
instructor to train a subject in learning steps and conditions
of a defibrillation procedure comprising the step of providing
an automatic defibrillator simulator. In each of claims 15
and 16, it is required that the simulator eliminate any danger
of electrical shock to the subject being trained otherwise
incidental to a working automatic defibrillator.2
2As best as we can discern from the underlying
disclosure, an automatic defibrillator simulator is configured
such that it can not effect pulses of energy at electrode
pads.
