Abstract

The arrangement has a number of electrodes (e) for removable attachment by adhesion to several points on the human body. A belt (c) of soft, flexible material connects the adhesion points together and is suitably shaped to accommodate and hold the electrodes on the adhesion points. Electrical leads (b) embedded in the belt are connected to the electrodes and to a connector (a) for connection to a base unit, which processes and evaluates the data acquired via the electrodes.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Langzeiterfassung von Körperdaten, insbesondere zur EKG-Erstellung.The invention relates to a device for long-term acquisition of body data, especially for ECG creation.

Blutdruck- und Herzerkrankungen sind im Bereich der chronischen Krankheiten zu suchen. Die drei wichtigsten Grundtypen cronischer Krankheiten gleidern sich in Blut-, Herz- und Skeletterkrankungen. Für Personen, die an Herzerkrankungen leiden, stellt diese eine nicht unerhebliche Erschwerung ihres normalen lebens dar. Zum einen müssen sie sich in ihren Lebensgewohnheiten und/oder Essgewohnheiten umstellen, zum anderen unterliegen sie je nach Stärke der Erkrankung, kutzzyklischen, regelmäßigen Arztbesuchen, die zur genauen Einstellung der verabreichten Medikamentenmenge und Zusammensetzung notwendig sind. Diese erzeugt eine gewisse Abhängigkeit von der Erkrankung, welche uns dazu veranlasst hat, im Bereich der mobilen/stationären EKG Langzeitaufzeichnung neue Ansätze zu suchen.Blood pressure and heart diseases are in the chronic Looking for diseases. The three main basic types are more cronic Diseases dress up in blood, heart and skeletal disorders. For People with heart disease do not have one insignificant complication of their normal life. On the one hand, they have to change their lifestyle and / or eating habits to others, depending on the severity of the disease, regular visits to the doctor for the exact setting of the administered Amount of medication and composition are necessary. This creates a certain dependency on the disease that causes us to do so has new, long-term recording in the field of mobile / stationary ECG Approaches to look for.

Das Elektrokardiogramm (EGK) ist die Aufzeichnung des bei jeder Herzkontraktion auftretenden elektrischen Aktionspotentiales des Herzmuskels als Funktion der Zeit.The electrocardiogram (EGK) is the record of each Heart contraction occurring electrical action potential of the heart muscle as a function of time.

Ein transmembraner Ionenstrom, der sich entsprechend der Ionenverteilung an der Membran der Herzmuskelzelle ändert, dient als meßbare Spannungsquelle. Alls wesentliche Vorraussetzung der elektrischen Phänomene der Herztätigkeit gilt die Tatsache, daß bei jeder Erregung eine Muskelfaser ein Aktionsstrom entsteht, wobei sich die Membranoberfläche des erregten Teils der Muskelfaser gegenüber dem nicht erregten Teil stets elektronegativ verhält. Die Summe dieser Einzelpotentiale ergibt das von der Körperoberfläche abgeleitete Elektrokardiogramm. A transmembrane ion current that changes according to the ion distribution changes on the membrane of the heart muscle cell serves as a measurable Voltage source. All essential requirement of the electrical Phenomena of cardiac activity is the fact that with every arousal one Muscle fiber creates a stream of action, taking up the membrane surface of the aroused part of the muscle fiber compared to the unexcited part behaves electronegatively. The sum of these individual potentials results from the Body surface derived electrocardiogram.  

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Grundsätzlich können Aktionsströme des Herzens an jeder beliebigen Stelle des Körpers gewonnen werden. Bedeutung für die Routinediagnostik in Praxen und Kliniken haben ausschließlich die von der Körperoberfläche abgeleiteten EKG's gewonnen. Am gebräuchlichsten sind die bipolaren Standartableitungen nach Einthoven, die unipolaren Extremitätenableitungen nach Goldberg und die unipolaren Brustwandableitungen nach Wilson.Basically, streams of action of the heart can be anywhere of the body. Importance for routine diagnostics in Practices and clinics only have those from the body surface derived ECG's obtained. The most common are the bipolar ones Standard leads according to Einthoven, the unipolar extremity leads according to Goldberg and the unipolar chest wall leads according to Wilson.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die am Körper des Patienten angebracht, und dort längere Zeit verbleiben kann.The invention has for its object to provide a device that attached to the patient's body and can remain there for a long time.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Bei dem für den medizinischen Bereich entwickelten Elektrodenbaum für mobile und stationäre EKG Langzeitaufzeichnung handelt es sich um eine neue, ergonomisch dem Körper angepasste Elektrodengeneration. Vorteile entstehen im Bereich der Mobilität durch eine neu definierte Trageposition, veränderte Kabelführung und dem Einsatz zukunftsweisender Materialien.In the electrode tree developed for the medical field for mobile and stationary ECG long-term recording is a new generation of electrodes ergonomically adapted to the body. advantages arise in the field of mobility through a newly defined wearing position, changed cable routing and the use of future-oriented materials.

  • - Ermöglicht dem Patienten eine nahezu uneingeschränkte Bewegungsfreiheit im Alltagsleben.- Allows the patient an almost unrestricted Freedom of movement in everyday life.
  • - Im stationären Bereich wie z. B. Kliniken stellt der Elektrodenbaum eine wesentliche Erleichterung der Arbeitsbedingungen für das Pflegepersonal dar.- In the stationary area such as B. The electrode tree provides clinics significant easing of working conditions for the Nursing staff.
  • - Hohes Sicherheitspotential bei der Versorgung von Notfallpatienten.- High safety potential in the care of emergency patients.
  • - Keine Ableitungskanalverwechslungen möglich.- Mixing up of discharge channels is not possible.

Das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip beruht auf der Zusammenlegung der 4-poligen, 6-poligen und 10-poligen EGK-Ableitung zu einem Elektrodenbaum, so daß nur noch ein Kabel zu dem Basisgerät (mobil, stationär) geführt werden muß. In diesem Elektrodenbaum sind die einzelnen Verbindungskabel/Leiterbahnen (b), die zu den Elektroden führen, in einem flexiblen Trägermaterial (c) integriert. An den Aufnahmen (d) werden die handelsüblichen Einwegelektroden (e) angebracht. Am Ende des Elektrodenbaums befindet sich ein kontaktgebendes Verbindungselement (a) zur standartisierten Aufnahme am Basisgerät (mobil, stationär).The principle according to the invention is based on the merging of the 4-pin, 6-pin and 10-pin EGK lead to an electrode tree, so that only one cable to the base unit (mobile, stationary) must become. The individual are in this electrode tree  Connection cable / conductor tracks (b) leading to the electrodes in one flexible carrier material (c) integrated. On the recordings (d) commercially available disposable electrodes (e) attached. At the end of There is a contacting connecting element (a) for standardized recording on the base unit (mobile, stationary).

Zur Anpassung des Elektrodenbaums an die ergonomischen Gegebenheiten beim Patentieren gibt es zwei Konzepte:
There are two concepts for adapting the electrode tree to the ergonomic conditions during patenting:

  • - Es gibt vier Elektrodenbaum-Standartgrößen, die jeweils durch ihr flexibles Material dne ergonomischen Belangen des Patienten gerecht wird.- There are four standard electrode tree sizes, each by their flexible material meets the ergonomic needs of the patient becomes.
  • - Es gibt vier Elektrodenbaum-Standartgrößen, die mittels mechanischer Verstellmöglichkeiten den ergonomischen Anforderungen des Patienten gerecht wird.- There are four standard electrode tree sizes, which are mechanical Adjustment options to the ergonomic requirements of the patient justice.
