Abstract
An extended wear electrocardiography patch is provided. An integrated flexible circuit includes a pair of circuit traces that each originate within one end. A pair of electrocardiographic electrodes are each electrically coupled to one of the circuit traces. A layer of adhesive is applied on a contact surface of the flexible circuit and includes an opening on each end. Conductive gel is provided in each of the openings of the adhesive layer and is in electrical contact with the electrocardiographic electrodes. A non-conductive receptacle is adhered on one end of an outward surface of the flexible circuit and is operable to removably receive an electrocardiography monitor. The non-conductive receptacle includes electrode terminals aligned to electrically interface the circuit traces to the electrocardiography monitor. A battery is affixed to the outward surface of the flexible circuit and electrically interfaced via battery leads to a pair of electrical pads.
