Abstract

A portable leadwire signalling terminal is provided as an interface between an EKG base unit and a patient. The portable terminal includes a signal transceiver which transmits leadwire information to the EKG apparatus, as well as pushbutton information. The EKG unit sends back information suitable for a video display in the terminal. This information is indicative of noise on each leadwire, as well as whether a lead wire is disconnected.
