1. A medical device management system, the system comprising:
a defibrillating apparatus comprising:
a plurality of electrodes configured to monitor ECG signals of a patient and deliver a defibrillation shock to the patient, and
a communication unit configured to:
establish a secured wireless network connection that requires a network passcode to gain access to the secured wireless network,
receive a signal indicative of deployment of the defibrillating apparatus to the patient,
automatically generate a first text message upon receipt of the signal indicative of deployment of the defibrillating apparatus,
associate the first text message with a unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus,
automatically send, via the secured wireless network connection, the first text message to a mobile handheld device associated with a caregiver,
automatically generate a second text message comprising defibrillation shock status upon delivery of the defibrillation shock,
associate the second text message with the unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus,
automatically send, via the secured wireless network connection, the second text message to the mobile handheld device associated with the caregiver; and
the mobile handheld device associated with the caregiver comprising a user interface comprising a display configured to display a plurality of displayed unit identifiers, each of the plurality of displayed unit identifiers being associated with a particular defibrillating system of a plurality of defibrillating systems, wherein the mobile handheld device is configured to:
receive a user selection of a defibrillating system of the plurality of defibrillating systems for display of communication information between the selected defibrillating system and the mobile handheld device, wherein the selected defibrillating system comprises the defibrillating apparatus,
receive the first text message and associate the first text message with the defibrillating apparatus based on the unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus, and display the first text message on the display,
receive the second text message and associate the second text message with the defibrillating apparatus based on the unit identifier specific to the defibrillating apparatus, and display the second text message on the display,
in response to the received second text message, send a third text message to be received by the defibrillating apparatus, the third text message including patient treatment information;
wherein the defibrillating apparatus is configured to receive the third text message including the patient treatment information from the mobile handheld device and to display the third text message on the display,
wherein the display comprises, for each of the plurality of displayed unit identifiers, an associated status indicator that indicates when a text message has been received from the defibrillating system, of the plurality of defibrillating systems, associated with the associated status indicator, wherein the associated status indicator comprises a color-coded icon that indicates a particular communication status of a plurality of communication statuses, the plurality of communication statuses comprising: a first status indicating that no text message has been received, a second status indicating that an initial text message has been received, and a third status indicating that a second or later message has been received.
