SYSTEM FOR ECG MONITORING

摘要

The invention concerns a system for ECG monitoring. The system comprises signal leads (1 - 10) connected to corresponding measuring electrodes (R, L, N, F; V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6), which are attached to a patient (P) in accordance with the standard electrode placement, each of said signal leads being provided with a first connector element (11); a collecting connector (13) containing second connector elements (14) for receiving the first connector elements (11); and an ECG apparatus comprising an amplifier unit (16) to which the measurement signals are passed from the collecting connector. The number of second connector elements (14; 141, 142) in the collecting connector (13) is at most a number corresponding to the maximum number of measuring electrodes defined in the ECG standard; and the system comprises change-over switches (18 - 22) which are so implemented that, in a first connection position (I), they will conduct the measurement signals from the measuring electrodes (R, L, N, F; V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6) attached to the patient (P) to the ECG apparatus so that the corresponding signal leads (1-10) have no shielding ground connection, while in a second connection position (II) they establish a shielding ground connection for certain signal leads.
