1. An ECG monitoring device disposed to be worn on a subject body comprising:
- a handheld electrode patch including a plurality of electrodes configured to make contact with the subject body by separate, electrically conductive areas of hydrogel;
a removable release liner covering the areas of hydrogel prior to use; and
an ECG electronic module which attaches to the electrode patch in electrical communication with the electrodes,wherein the removable release liner further comprises a sheet of nonconductive material having conductive areas aligned with the areas of hydrogel.

Abstract
An ECG monitoring device comprises an integral handheld device including a ECG electronic module and an electrode patch having a plurality of electrodes which contact a subject by conductive hydrogel. A release liner covers and protects the hydrogel prior to use and is removed to expose the hydrogel. A second release liner is removed to expose a pressure sensitive adhesive by means of which the device is attached to a subject. The first and second release liners may be parts of a single release liner layer. After use the electrode patch is disposable and the ECG electronic module is detached from the patch for reuse.
