Non-invasive cardiac monitor and methods of using continuously recorded cardiac data
First Claim
1. A continuous cardiac monitor, comprising:
- a housing;
a surface on the housing adapted to be sealably engaged to a mammal;
an adhesive on the surface that is adapted to remain affixed to the mammal for at least 7 days;
at least two electrodes within the housing positioned to detect a cardiac information of the mammal while the surface is sealably engaged to the mammal;
an electronic memory within the housing wherein, the electronic memory is sized to store at least 24 hours of continuous cardiac information; and
wiring within the housing connecting the electronic memory to the electrodes.

Abstract
One embodiment of the invention is a cardiac monitor having a housing; a plurality of electrodes within and extending from the housing; a state machine within the housing configured to digitialize and store in memory signals from the plurality of electrodes; a sealing surface and an adhesive on the sealing surface configured to form a watertight perimeter around the plurality of electrodes when the housing is affixed to a mammal. Another embodiment of the invention provides a continuous cardiac monitor having a housing; a surface on the housing adapted to be sealably engaged to a mammal; an adhesive on the surface that is adapted to remain affixed to the mammal for at least 7 days; at least two electrodes within the housing positioned to detect a cardiac information of the mammal while the surface is sealably engaged to the mammal; an electronic memory within the housing wherein, the electronic memory is sized to store at least 24 hours of continuous cardiac information; and wiring within the housing connecting the electronic memory to the electrodes.
