Electrocardiographic signal monitoring system

摘要

A wireless transmitter module for use in a system for monitoring at least one physiological condition of a subject. The transmitter module includes a housing and an electrode patch preferably having three closely spaced electrodes provided on a first surface thereof. The first surface of the patch is coated with a non-allergenic adhesive in regions surrounding the electrodes, whereby the patch is securable to the subject by the adhesive to permit sensing of a physiological signal of the subject by the electrodes. The transmitter module further includes circuitry internal of the housing for detecting a physiological signal sensed by the electrodes and for transmitting a signal corresponding to the physiological signal to a receiving unit. Additionally, the module has snaps for detachably connecting the electrode patch to the exterior of the housing, the snaps being operable to effect electrical communication of the electrodes with the circuitry when the electrode patch is connected to the housing, whereby the entirety of the transmitter module is supported by the electrode patch when the electrode patch is connected to the housing and the first surface is adhered to the subject.
