Abstract
A method of using a medical apparatus includes a step of providing the medical apparatus. The medical apparatus is hand-held and enables operation of an initial-medical function or initial-state function. The medical apparatus is capable of accepting and operationally integrating into the medical apparatus the contents of an adaptor kit to enable a new medical function. Each adaptor kit includes at least one adaptor-kit cartridge and at least one accessory. Added steps include: using the medical apparatus to perform the initial-medical function or initial-state function; providing a first, a second, and a third adaptor kit to enable the medical apparatus to function as: a wearable automated external defibrillator (AED) with disposable electrode pads; as a wAED with disposable electrode pads; and as a means for taking an electrocardiogram (ECG).
