Template device for repeatable placement of chest electrodes for ECG

Abstract

Disclosed are devices and methods for determining and memorializing chest electrode placement locations on a user. The device utilizes two datum reference points in the patient's anatomy, the Jugular notch and the Xiphoid process, which are easily found and repeatable and which serve to ensure the device is in the correct position to memorialize chest electrode placement locations. The device may comprise a first plate and a second plate operatively coupled to the first plate so that the second plate slides along a vertical axis of the first plate and the first plate slides along a vertical access of the second plate. The device may further comprise a template grid having a plurality of cells printed thereon. The template grid may have a coordinate system for identifying each of the plurality of cells. The template grid may be modified to indicate a set of chest electrode placement locations on the user.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
