Abstract
A system and method for a multi-function remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring system. The system includes a housing and a microprocessor disposed within the housing. The microprocessor controls the remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring system. The system also includes an electrode for sensing ECG signals and the electrode being in communication with the microprocessor. An integrated cellular module also is included in the system, and the cellular module is connected to the microprocessor and disposed within the housing. The integrated cellular module transmits ECG signals to a remote center.
Claims22
A remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring system for acquiring ECG signals, the system comprising:
- an ambulatory housing configured to be worn by a patient;
- a microprocessor for controlling the remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring system, and the microprocessor is disposed within the ambulatory housing;
- an electrode extending from the ambulatory housing for sensing ECG signals and the electrode being in communication with the microprocessor for performing one of a multiple channel EKG/ECG mode, ECG Holter mode, or an MCT/Event mode;
- and
- an integrated cellular module connected to the microprocessor and disposed within the ambulatory housing, wherein the integrated cellular module transmits ECG signals to a remote center.
