US Classification:

Abstract:
An ECG electrode and method of making and using such. The electrode can have a domed electrode element attached to a housing containing an interface disk to which the concave side of the domed electrode connects. Within the housing a signal lead wire has one end attached to the non-skin-contacting side of the dome and another end connected to a signal transition circuit and a buffer amplifier circuit. The domed electrode element can be made by forming a metal disk into a dome and providing an oxide layer over the convex surface of the dome. The convex surface of the domed electrode can ensure reliable ECG signal acquisitions with lower radial forces generally than other electrode types, when positioned adjacent the skin of the patient and when coupled to cardiac activity monitoring equipment and a defibrillator for cardiac sensing capabilities.
Support Garments For Patient-Worn Energy Delivery Apparatus

International Classification:
A41D 104 A61B 50402
US Classification:
2102
Abstract:
In a support garment for a patient-worn energy delivery apparatus, a vest-type garment holds an electrode belt in contact with a wearer's ribcage. The garment includes a flap with button holes to permit buttoning in of energy transfer electrodes, thus constituting a wearable electrode system. Additionally, a holster contains the components of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator that are not in contact with the skin. The holster has an adjustment for waist, girth and vertical position of the defibrillator according to the personal preferences of the wearer. The support garment includes a vest-like chest garment and an inner layer which provides support for the defibrillator electrodes. A removable electrode harness is attachable to the support garment in order to accurately position the sensing electrodes on the body of the wearer and energy delivery electrodes for transfer of an electrode therapy pulse to the wearer of the garment. The chest garment includes adjustable shoulder straps and waist belt so that the support garment can accommodate any body size or shape.

International Classification:
A61N 1/39 A61N 1/04
Abstract:
A modular waterproof therapeutic electrode component for preventing water ingress and for easy servicing. The component comprises a substrate comprising a conductive surface, a reservoir of conductive fluid mounted on the substrate, a reusable waterproof enclosure comprising circuitry, the reusable waterproof enclosure comprising circuitry configured to be removably coupled to the substrate, and a fluid deployment device in electrical communication with the circuitry and mounted on the substrate, the fluid deployment device configured to cause the reservoir to release the conductive fluid onto the conductive surface to reduce electrical impedance between the conductive surface and skin of a subject.

International Classification:
A61N 1/04
Abstract:
A therapeutic electrode component includes a base plate having a first side and a second side having a conductive surface. A repository having an internal volume to releasably retain a conductive fluid is disposed on the first side of the base plate. A rupturable membrane is disposed between the internal volume of the repository and the conductive surface of the base plate. A coupling is disposed on the base plate that is configured to detachably engage a gas charge, whereby the gas charge is detachable from the coupling without causing destruction of the gas charge, to provide a hermetic seal with an outlet of the gas charge, and to provide fluid communication between the internal volume of the repository and the outlet of gas charge when the gas charge is engaged by the coupling. A retainer is configured to detachably secure the gas charge to the base plate.
