Abstract
A harness for placing on a patient's chest allows ECG measurements to be quickly made. The harness includes a strip of nonconductive film having a connector terminal at one edge for connection to an ECG measuring devise. The strip has a number of electrodes formed on it, each having leads extending to the connector terminal. At least some of the electrodes are grouped into sets. Each of the sets has a pattern of electrodes spaced for placement on a patient of a different size. Each of the electrodes within the sets has a corresponding electrode in another of the sets with which it is in electrical common. A backing layer may be peeled-off to expose the electrodes. The backing layer has separate zones, one for each of the sets of electrodes.
