Abstract: An electrocardiogram system is provided. The system includes an array of sensors configured to generate electrical signals relating to cardiac activity. The system further includes a plurality of lead cables. Each lead cable includes a sensor terminal, an opposing sensor terminal, and an intermediate segment. The intermediate segment is interposed between the sensor terminal and the opposing sensor terminal. The array of sensors are electrically coupled to the sensor terminals. The intermediate segment is configured to carry the electrical signals from the sensor terminal to the opposing sensor terminal. The intermediate segment is enclosed by a non-conductive enclosure. The non-conductive enclosure having opposing linear surfaces and opposing lateral surfaces extending from the opposing linear surfaces. The opposing linear surfaces are parallel with respect to each other.

Abstract: The ECG leadwire connector is designed in a way that allows low cost high volume manufacturing of an ECG leadwire assembly using standard continuous web converting processes and materials. The integrated ECG leadwire connector is assembled using the same printing and laminating processes that are used to construct the rest of the leadwire assembly. Patient safety requirements are met by the physical dimensions of the connector electrical contacts and by the thickness of a dielectric isolation feature which prevents inadvertent contact with potentially hazardous potentials, while still allowing the connector pins to make contact with the leadwire conductors. The connector also incorporates and RFID tag that allows multiple leadwire configurations to be accommodated and identified and authenticated during use.

Abstract: A hand-held electrocardiograph system with automatic analysis and interpretation is provided. The electrocardiograph includes an acquisition element adapted to be coupled to a patient through a set of relatively short leadwires and a hand-held, battery powered portable processing and display element coupled to the acquisition element and controlled through a graphical user interface.
