Abstract:
Physiological monitoring can be provided through a lightweight wearable monitor that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch and a reusable monitor recorder that removably snaps into a receptacle on the electrode patch. The wearable monitor sits centrally on the patient's chest along the sternum oriented top-to-bottom. The placement of the wearable monitor in a location at the sternal midline, with its unique narrow “hourglass”-like shape, significantly improves the ability of the wearable monitor to cutaneously sense cardiac electrical potential signals, particularly the P-wave and the QRS interval signals indicating ventricular activity in the ECG waveforms. In particular, the ECG electrodes on the electrode patch are tailored to be positioned axially along the midline of the sternum for capturing action potential propagation in an orientation that corresponds to the aVF lead used in a conventional 12-lead ECG that is used to sense positive or upright P-waves.

Claim (Index 1):
A multipart electrocardiography monitor optimized for capturing low amplitude cardiac action potential propagation, comprising:\n a disposable extended wear electrode patch, comprising:\n a flexible backing comprising two adhesive contact surfaces; \n a pair of electrocardiographic electrodes, each comprised on one of the adhesive contact surfaces, each electrocardiographic electrode conductively exposed for dermal adhesion; \n a receptacle affixed to a non-contacting surface of the flexible backing and comprising a docking interface; \n a battery within a compartment on a bottom surface of the receptacle and electrically interfaced to the docking interface; and \n a circuit connecting the electrocardiographic electrodes to the docking interface; and \n an ambulatory electrocardiography monitor recorder comprising:\n a wearable housing adapted to securely fit into the receptacle; \n an external connector configured to interface to the docking interface when the wearable housing is within the receptacle; and \n electronic circuitry provided within the wearable housing and removably connected to the electrocardiographic electrodes and to the battery via the via the external connector and docking interface, the electronic circuitry further comprising:\n a low power micro-controller operable to execute over an extended period under modular micro program control as specified in firmware and to draw power from the battery via the external connector; \n an electrocardiographic front end circuit under the control of the micro-controller adapted to sense cardiac electrical potential differentials through the electrocardiographic electrodes, which are provided to the micro-controller as electrocardiographic signals representative of amplitudes of the action potential propagation; and \n a non-volatile memory electrically interfaced with the micro-controller and operable to continuously store samples of the electrocardiographic signals throughout the extended period.
