Abstract :
A new 12-lead transtelephonic ECG electrode system has been developed by NIBEC. The dry electrode system consists of an, Ag/AgCl screenprinted ink layer patterned on to a flexible 125 μm polyester film. This has been hydro-formed in order to ensure good skin contact and high quality signal sensing. The sensors are used as a reusable electrode system for home-based use in transtelephonic ECG monitoring of patients
