  • Capacitive electrodes allow the measurement of an electrocardiogram with the same results as with conventionally used galvanic electrodes.
  • the advantage of capacitive electrodes is that no direct skin contact is required, so that even through garments can be measured through.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve the ECG device described in the aforementioned publication in view of its practical applicability in everyday medical use.
  • the invention generally relates to an ECG device designed as a portable handheld device.
  • a hand-held device has the advantage that it can be handled in a simple manner and can be used everywhere, and in particular can also be transported to places of accident.
  • Such a hand-held device also has the advantage that it can be permanently carried along with correspondingly compact training of doctors or in ambulances and ambulance vehicles.
  • Such a portable hand-held device is further developed according to the invention in that the ECG sensors, which are provided in the form of capacitive electrodes, are at least partially embedded in a foam block fastened to the housing.
  • the ECG sensors are from the
  • the foam block may be disposed in a recess of the housing, e.g. in a housing breakthrough.
  • the foam block is mounted on a housing surface of the ECG device. This allows a simple attachment of the foam block to the housing without major housing breakthroughs. There is only a small opening in the housing to carry out the connection cables for the ECG sensors required.
  • the ECG sensors are arranged on the side facing away from the housing of the foam block. This has the advantage that the distance between the sensors and the human chest area to be detected is minimized, resulting in improved signal acquisition. - -
  • the ECG sensors may be completely embedded in the foam block or only partially, i. something protruding from the foam block. If the ECG sensors are completely embedded in the foam block, the ECG sensors may also be covered by a foam layer.
  • the ECG sensors are not covered by the material of the foam block, i. visible from the outside in a plan view of the foam block, so to speak. This has the advantage that the detection sensitivity of the ECG sensors is maximized.
  • the ECG sensors are arranged on the side facing away from the housing side of the foam block at approximately the same distance from the housing surface facing away from the foam block.

  • the use of viscoelastic foam has the advantage that on the one hand the foam block can adapt well to the body shape of a patient and because of the special properties of the viscoelastic foam as a result of the body heat, it retains the once taken form for a relatively long time and thus adapts itself to the body shape Body shape adapts.
  • This has the advantage that the ECG device is easier to handle and can be held with less force on the patient after appropriate form adaptation of the viscoelastic foam.
  • viscoelastic foam is easy to work, especially at low temperatures.
  • the ECG device may already be equipped with input and display means, e.g. to enter the necessary settings and to display the ECG signals.
  • the ECG device can thus be relatively heavy and unwieldy, so that it is advantageous for an application as a portable handset to form the ECG device as a pure ECG signal acquisition device without its own display unit for displaying the recorded ECG signals ,
  • the ECG device can be operated wirelessly and has an integrated power supply. This allows maximum flexibility in the application and handling of the ECG device in practical medical use.
