Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a suction electrode assembly, comprising, an electrode housing that surrounds and positions an electrode plate, the electrode housing being coupled to a vacuum system, a suction dome housing configured to position the electrode housing and comprises a top portion, a bottom portion, and a conical middle portion with an axially varying wall thickness that couples the top portion and the bottom portion, and wherein the top portion is configured to withstand a force that depresses the top portion, the conical middle portion is configured to concentrically collapse in response to the top portion being depressed, and the bottom portion is configured to contact a surface.

Abstract: An ECG electrode application system includes an electrode distributor including a housing and a suction manifold assembly disposed within the housing. The suction manifold assembly includes a manifold, a plurality of pneumatic valves integrated within the manifold, and the manifold includes a common manifold chamber fluidly coupled to each pneumatic valve, and each pneumatic valve includes a venturi passage. The ECG electrode application system includes a plurality of suction electrodes, each suction electrode having an electrode suction dome and coupled to the electrode distributor via a lead wire, and each lead wire is coupled to a respective pneumatic valve. Each electrode suction dome is configured when pressed to cause a change in air pressure that results in a suction pressure being applied within a respective electrode suction dome to adhere a corresponding suction electrode to a subject at a pressure determined by the venturi passage of a corresponding pneumatic valve.
