Abstract: The invention relates to a tap (1), particularly suitable for use in urine drainage systems. The advantage of the tap (1) is that its control member (3) is operated by an operating means (4) which in the embodiment is in the form of a flap or tab (9) hinged at (8) to the control member. The tab (9) in the stowed position lies within the perimeter of the control member, so there is no projecting part, which obviates snagging and inadvertent operation. Over-centre biassing means (10) biasses the flap (9) to the stowed or unstowed condition.

Abstract: A multi-lead ECG monitor (10) determines whether the reference electrode (LA) has been disconnected and, if so, switches to another reference electrode, which is selected in accordance with a predetermined priority scheme, to continue ECG monitoring. Disconnection of the reference electrode can be determined by observing that no ECG signal is being received from any of the electrodes. After a stabilization period, the system then determines if any electrodes are still connected. If not, then, as before, it is determined that the new reference electrode is not connected and that a new reference electrode needs to be selected. The switching of the reference electrode continues in this manner until it is determined that electrodes are connected. If sufficient electrodes (LA,RA,LL,RL,CA,CB) including the new reference electrode are still connected to the patient to permit ECG monitoring, then ECG monitoring continues and a status message is presented to the operator identifying which electrodes are disconnected. Once complete electrode connection is regained, the ECG monitor automatically switches back to the preferred settings with the desired reference electrode. <IMAGE>
