Other examples of non-responsive might be: "The computer was non-responsive" it might have crashed or have no power etc. "The patient was non-responsive" eg if the patient was in a coma. "The controls for the nuclear reactor were non-responsive" :)

It generally is used in medical situations but not always. A person has a heart attack. The emergency medical technicians try to revive them but nothing happens. They say the person is non-responsive. Their medical efforts did not cause the person to respond or they did not respond on their own. In can be used in other ways but this is just one example.

It can mean the same thing. Unresponsive may mean a person is not responding to cpr or cardio pulmonary resuscitation. This person may still be alive but it may require the use of equipment to get them breathing again ( as opposed to mouth to mouth resuscitation). Again, this is a fine point and they can be used interchangeably. It is better to have the context of the conversation to give a more accurate definition. A person can be unresponsive in a relationship, meaning they show no feelings of love or caring. You tell someone you love them and they ignore you. Or you yell at your parent and they ignore you.
