  • Patent number: 8280481
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrodes that possess components capable of indicating to an end-user when the electrode is in need of replacement. In embodiments, the electrodes include a hydrogel in combination with a pH indicator which changes its color or opacity upon repeated use of the electrode, thereby indicating an appropriate time for changing or replacing the electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2012
    Assignee: Tyco Healthcare Group LP

  • Patent number: 8275441
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrodes that possess components capable of indicating to an end-user when the electrode is in need of replacement. The electrode includes a substrate and a conductive composition on at least a portion of a surface of the substrate. The conductive composition includes at least one hydrogel and at least one component that precipitates from the hydrogel after repeated use of the electrode, thereby providing an indication to replace the electrode.

  • Publication number: 20090227857
    Abstract: An electrode for selective attachment to at least one of a garment and a subject is provided. The electrode includes a conductive member defining a first side and a second side; a conductive composition disposed on the first side of the conductive member, wherein the conductive composition has a first adhesive strength; and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the second side of the conductive member, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive has a second adhesive strength that is greater than the adhesive strength of the conductive composition. The electrode is interposable between the garment and the subject such that the conductive composition is adhered to the subject and the pressure sensitive adhesive is adhered to the garment. In use, upon removal of the garment from the subject the electrode is removed only from the subject.
