Abstract:
1. A body worn patient monitoring device comprising: a disposable module including a plurality of electrical connections, said electrical connections adapted to be couplable to a skin surface to measure physiological signals, at least one of said electrical connections comprising a half cell, the disposable module including a disposable module connector; a power source to power the body worn patient monitoring device; a communication-computation module being removable and reusable, having a communication-computation module connector to receive physiological signals from the disposable module via said disposable module connector, the communication-computation module including: at least one series current-limiting resistor configured to protect the communication-computation module, the at least one series current-limiting resistor being screened on a flexible substrate, the at least one series current-limiting resistor being in the form of resistive traces.
