US 2006/0142831 A1 · Limited use ECG electrode set

Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided for a limited use ECG electrode set. The electrode set includes a plurality of limited use electrodes capable of being affixed to a human patient so as to receive patient information from the patient such as ECG data. Cables are also affixed to each electrode, and each cable is capable of transmitting patient information therethrough. A connector is affixed to each cable, and the connector is likewise capable of transmitting patient information. A sealing wedge may be molded around each cable forming a seal therebetween. The electrode set may be disposed at least partially in a packaging interior region, and the packaging may be hermetically sealed.
