Patent ID: 8594771

Claim:
A device for recording an electrocardiogram (“ECG”) said device comprising: a base comprising a sheet of a flexible material with leads formed therein, the sheet having a first side and a second side, which are configured to conform to an abdomen of a subject, and a central portion formed between and integrally connected with the first side and the second side, the central portion having an area that is less than the area of either the first side or the second side; a first sensor pad and a second sensor pad formed on a bottom surface of respectively, the first side and the second side of the sheet, wherein the first sensor pad and second sensor pad are configured to receive an ECG signal from the abdomen of the subject; a control circuit disposed on a top surface of the sheet and centrally-located in the central portion between the first side and the second side, the control circuit coupled to the leads; an outer housing surrounding the control circuit, the outer housing comprising a top section that resides on the top surface of the sheet and a bottom section that resides on the bottom surface of the sheet, wherein both the top section and the bottom section comprise interlocks that penetrate through openings in the sheet proximate the central portion to secure the top section and the bottom section together to enclose the control circuit therein; an overlay engageable with the over the leads and forming a contact area that is sized and configured to receive a hand of a patient disposed flatly thereon; and a finger cuff disposed on the overlay, the finger cuff forming a loop configured to engage only one finger, wherein the control circuit is configured to receive via the leads at least one or more ECG signals from the finger cuff, the first sensor pad, and the second sensor pad during at least one or more self-administered ECG examinations.
