Abstract
An ECG harness is positioned on the chest of patient for making electrocardiographic measurements. The harness includes a strip of nonconductive film having a plurality of slots spaced along the length of the strip at selected anatomical positions. A connector terminal is formed at one edge of the strip for connection to a monitoring device. Electrically conductive border traces extend around the slots. The border traces are exposed on the outer side of the strip and insulated from the inner side of the strip. Conductive leads extend from the connector terminal to the border traces. Electrode pads are placed on the outer side of the strip at least partially extending over the slots. Each of the electrode pads has a conductive inner side for electrical contact with one of the border traces and the skin of the patient.
