1. A method for remote access of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals obtained in a portable ECG monitor, the method comprising:
- selectively correcting an out-of-range ECG signal;
configuring notation data in response to a state of a notation switch;
radio frequency (RF) modulating the selectively corrected ECG signal and the notation data; and
transmitting an RF modulated data, wherein the RF modulated data comprises the selectively corrected ECG signal, notation data, and synchronization data.

Abstract
A system and method for obtaining ECG signals from an ambulatory patient are disclosed herein. The system is configured to be inexpensive, small, and robust for outpatient monitoring. The system is configured to be a low power consuming device. The system provides options for a variety of settings and real-time access to the ECG signals being recorded during the recording period.

6. A system for monitoring and recording electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms, comprising:
-
an analog-to-digital (A/D) modulator;
a radio frequency (RF) modulator coupled to the A/D modulator;
an antenna coupled to the RF modulator; and
a notation switch coupled to the RF modulator, wherein the RF modulator is configured to modulate multi-channel ECG data outputted from the A/D modulator simultaneously as the multi-channel ECG data is recorded. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
