ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH MONITORING DEVICE AND CONNECTOR

摘要

The present invention relates to electrocardiography and to electrode arrangements used in electrocardiographic monitoring devices, and is more particularly related to a pad or patch containing said electrodes which may be used to passively and non-invasively monitor electrical activity generated by a patient's heart from the surface of that patient's chest, and to a connector which allows for fast and simple connection between the pad containing said electrodes and the devices and equipment typically used to monitor and view electrocardiographic information.

主权项

1. An EKG patch, comprising:
a plurality of individual EKG patches, each comprising a base layer and a plurality of electrodes capable of receiving an electrical signal generated by the myocardium of a human heart, wherein each of the plurality of the individual EKG patches are stacked on top of each other such that each electrode in an individual patch aligns and contacts with at least one corresponding electrode in an adjacent EKG patch, thereby allowing a free flow of electricity through the plurality of stacked EKG patches, and such that the bottom-most EKG patch may be contacted with the skin of a patient, and wherein a temporary or release adhesive is placed between each of the plurality of EKG patches such that the bottom-most EKG patch may be peeled away from the stack after each use.
