Multi-parameter acquisition of ECG and related physiologic data employing conventional ECG lead conductors

摘要

A system involving disconnectably connectable sensor and adaptor units which can be employed to allow for the collection and communication, along with ECG data, of other physiologic parameter data whose condition is helpful in a evaluating communicative ECG data. Connection between the adaptor and sensor units of the invention effects the establishment of circuitry which allows (a) for the use of conventional ECG lead conductors alone to be responsible for carrying all categories of data, (b) for providing fail-safe communication of ECG data, and (c) for defining through different interfacial connective structures the actual characters of other-parameter data that will be communicated outwardly from a subject.
