1. An electrocardiograph sensor, comprising:
- an electrocardiograph sensor mat;
a plurality of electrodes attached to the mat for acquiring cardiac signals from an object to be examined when the mat is arranged in contact with the object; and
a plug attached to the mat and connected to the electrodes by electric wires, the electric wires being segmented by mechanical switches, respectively,wherein each of the mechanical switches is switchable between a closed state, electrically connecting the electrodes to the plug, and an open state, electrically isolating the electrodes from the plug, andwherein each of the mechanical switches comprises at least one conducting element fixed to a removable layer, such that the mechanical switch is adapted to switch between the closed state and the open state upon movement of the removable layer.
