Abstract
A device used to establish a contact between a subject and a measuring device using measurement technology, wherein the subject can be a patient. The device has at least one measuring device for connecting to the subject and at least one line to which the measuring device is secured. The line is designed such that the measured variables detected by the measuring device can be conducted to a measuring unit. A mat is connected to the at least one line so as to at least partly form an internal line section.
Claims10
A device for establishing contact between a human being and a measuring unit using measurement technology, comprising:
- at least one measuring device attachable to each hand and each foot of the human being;
- at least four lines to which the measuring device is attached, wherein the lines are configured to conduct measurement variables detected by the measuring device to the measuring unit for detecting and evaluating bioimpedance data;
- and, a flexible mat connected to the lines so that at least part of each of the lines forms an internal line section internal to the mat, wherein the measuring device includes electrodes for carrying out a bioimpedance measurement, the electrodes including at least one electrode for each hand of the human being and at least one electrode for each foot of the human being, wherein the electrodes are incorporated in the mat, wherein the electrodes are arranged in the mat so that the hands and the feet of the human being are contacted by the corresponding electrodes when the mat is placed on the human being, each of the four lines being connected to a respective one of the electrodes.
