                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

               This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 1, 2, 6-20           
          and 22.  Claim 5, which is the only other pending claim, has been           
          allowed.                                                                    
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appellant claims a defibrillator system that audibly               
          indicates a functional status of the defibrillator in response to           
          a real-time user-triggered inquiry.  Claims 1 and 7 are                     
          illustrative:                                                               

                                          1
