Abstract:
1. A system for treating heart arrhythmia comprising: at least one electrode configured to be repositioned to a plurality of locations on a patient's skin and conduct electrical activity corresponding to the patient, wherein the electrode further comprises a substrate, a conductor disposed on a lower surface of the substrate, an electrode having an upper surface contacting the conductor, the electrode adapted to conduct electrical signals to and from a patient's skin, an adhesive lower surface of the electrode, and first and second release layers having a non-adhesive upper surface extending across portions of the adhesive surface, the release layers comprising a non-conductive material; and an electrocardiotherapy device electrically coupled to the electrode, the device operable to receive signals corresponding to the electrical activity from the electrode, analyze the received signals, and generate human perceptible output indicative of the quality of the received signals from the plurality of locations, wherein the electrocardiotherapy device comprises a controller operable to measure a patient ECG from the received signals and further operable to analyze the patient ECG and calculate a measure for atrial signal component strength to generate the human perceptible output indicative of the quality of the received signals, wherein the electrocardiotherapy device comprises a defibrillator.
