A system and method for safely delivering therapeutic energy to a patient, the system and method including verifying system integrity before, during or after delivery of therapeutic energy and providing mechanisms for when a device and/or system is identified Rapidly terminate delivery of potentially harmful energy to the patient in the event of a failure condition. The system may include an energy generator having processing circuitry to determine whether a fault condition exists in the system and automatically terminate delivery of therapeutic energy when the processing circuitry determines that a fault condition exists. The method may generally include performing a series of pre-checks, synchronizing treatment energy delivery with the appropriate segment of the cardiac depolarization pattern, configuring the system for treatment energy delivery, delivering the treatment energy, and performing a post-treatment evaluation . |
