Appeal 2007-2649
Application 10/235,998
providing a first electrode patch on a surface of
said patient data monitor;
providing a second electrode patch on a surface of
an ear-emplaceable sensor;
positioning the first electrode patch adjacent a
patient's waist;
positioning the second electrode patch adjacent a
patient's ear;
connecting said first and second electrode patches
to an electrocardiogram amplifier to obtain an ECG
signal for transmission by said patient data monitor;
and transmitting the ECG signal to the Internet
using said patient data monitor.
Thus, claim 1 is directed to a method of acquiring an
electrocardiogram (ECG) with a portable patient data monitor. An electrode
patch on a surface of the patient data monitor is positioned adjacent to a
patient’s waist. A second electrode patch on a surface of an ear-emplaceable
sensor is positioned adjacent to the patient’s ear. The two electrode patches
are connected to an electrocardiogram amplifier to obtain a transmissible
ECG signal. The ear-emplaceable sensor includes sensors other than the
electrode, and provides shielding.
Claim 13 is directed to a similar process. However, in claim 13 the
ECG signal is transmitted to the Internet. Also, unlike claim 1, claim 13
does not state that the ear-emplaceable sensor provides shielding or multiple
sensors.
