Claim Text:
1. A retractable multi-use cardiac monitor, comprising: a memory; a first side comprising a first housing wherein a first sensing connector is on the outside of the first housing and is configured to collect electrocardiogram (ECG) data and store ECG data onto the memory; a second side comprising a second housing including a wire retractor and a second sensing connector, wherein the second sensing connector is on the outside of the second housing and is configured to collect ECG data and store ECG data, onto the memory, and wherein the wire retractor is configured to extend and retract a wire that connects the second and first sides to vary a linear distance between the second and first sensing connectors, defined as an interelectrode distance; and a processor that calculates an optimum electrode vector length between the first sensing connector and the second sensing connector based at least in part on the ECG data and on the interelectrode distance a data communication device providing data communication between the memory and the processor.
