Abstract:
1. A membrane switch for use in patient monitoring, comprising: (a) an upper polyester member, said upper polyester member having an inner surface and an outer surface; (b) a first polyethylene bonding member having an upper surface and a lower surface, (c) a second polyethylene bonding member having an upper surface and a lower surface, said second bonding member upper surface facing said first bonding member lower surface, (d) a nonconductive polyester central spacer positionable to be between said first bonding member and said second bonding member, said central spacer (e) a lower outer member made of polyester, said lower outer member having an inner surface and an outer surface, said inner surface of said lower outer member being positionable to be in contact with said lower surface of said second bonding member; and, (f) an electrical line in electrical communication with said conductive portions of said first and said second bonding members, said electrical line having at least two electrically isolated conductors therein, wherein a first electrically isolated conductor is in electrical communication with said conductive portion of said first bonding member, and wherein a second electrically isolated conductor is in electrical communication with said conductive portion of said second bonding member.
