BATTERY LOCKING MECHANISMS FOR A WEARABLE MEDICAL DEVICE

Abstract: a wearable cardioversion-defibrillation system for providing battery information is provided. the system includes a controller operably coupled to one or more sensing electrodes and one or more therapy electrodes, a battery well disposed on the controller, and battery circuitry disposed in either a removable battery or within the battery well. the battery circuitry can be configured to detect whether the removable battery is inserted into the battery well and providing power to monitor and/or treat the patient, and provide human-perceptible confirmation via one or more of tactile, visual, or audio feedback to the patient on detecting that the removable battery has been inserted into the battery well and is providing power to monitor and/or treat the patient. upon proper insertion of the removable battery within the battery well, the controller can be configured to monitor and/or treat the patient for a cardiac arrhythmia based on power from the removable battery.
