Abstract:
System for ECG monitoring, comprisingmeasuring electrodes (R, F, L, L, N; V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6) attached to a patient (P) in accordance with a standard electrode placement, signal leads (1-10) connected to corresponding measuring electrodes (R, F, L, N; V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6) each of said signal leads being provided with a first connector element (11), a collecting connector (13) containing Second connector elements (34) for receiving the first connector elements (11), an ECG apparatus comprising an amplifier unit (16) to which the measurement signals are passed from the collecting connector, and change-over switches (18-22) which are so implemented that, in a first connection position (I), they will conduct the measurement signals from the measuring electrodes (R, F, L, N; V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6) attached to the patient (P) to the ECG apparatus so that the corresponding signal leads (1-10) are electrically connected to the patient, while in a second connection position (II) they establish a shielding ground connection for at least some of said signal leads.
