Abstract

A wireless cardiac event recorder is provided comprising two or more electrodes capable of detecting a patient'"'"'s heart beat and producing a corresponding electronic signal. A transmitter component is coupled to the electrodes to receive the electronic signal and wirelessly transmit the signal to a cardiac event monitor.

Claims

1. A wireless cardiac event recorder comprising two or more electrodes capable of detecting a patient'"'"'s heart beat and produce a corresponding electronic signal, a transmitter component coupled to said electrodes to receive the electronic signal, said transmitter component wirelessly transmitting the signal to a cardiac event monitor.

2. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 1 wherein the transmitter component comprises a circuit board with a power means, an analog/digital converter to capture the electronic signal from the electrodes and convert it to a digital signal, a microprocessor with optional data storage and a wireless transceiver for wireless transmitting the digital data from the microprocessor to a cardiac event monitor.

3. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 2 further comprising a separate receiver component adapted to mount to a cardiac event recorder and to wirelessly receive the digital data from the transmitter component.

4. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 3 wherein the receiver component has a circuit board with a power means, a transceiver, a digital/analog converter to convert the digital data back to an analog signal and a microprocessor.

5. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 4 wherein the receiver component connects to a cardiac event monitor.

6. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 1 wherein the two or more electrodes and transmitter component are waterproof.

7. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 1 wherein the two or more electrodes and transmitter component are in the form of a self-adhesive patch.

8. A wireless cardiac event recorder according to claim 2 wherein the cardiac event monitor is a Holter monitor.
