Claims12
An electrode assembly for connection to a patient's body and a transmitter for operable correction to the electrode assembly to receive the output therefrom and transmit these to an adjacent receiver associated with monitoring equipment.
An assembly as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the electrode assembly is a one-use device.
An assembly as claimed in claim 9 wherein the transmitter can be sterilized after use.
A method of monitoring vital signs of a patient including placing at least one electrode assembly on the patient's body, electrically connecting to the electrode assembly a device to monitor and convert the signal from the electrodes to a required form for transmission, transmitting the converted signal, receiving the transmitted signal and using this to operate equipment designed to monitor the function for which the electrodes are specific.
