Abstract

A disposable electrodeless electro-dermal connector device includes a flexible non-conductive sheet having a fixed array of electrical conductor strips affixed thereon and positioned in a specific size configuration appropriate for electrocardiographic recording. The connector strips have a receptor pad end adapted for electrical connection with the skin for receiving electrical impulses and a terminal connection end which is adapted for connection with an electrocardiological measuring apparatus. Receptor pads V.sub.1 and V.sub.2 are attached approximately over the sternum at the fourth intercostal space and receptor pads V.sub.3 and V.sub.4 are attached over the ribs, with the distance between V.sub.1 and V.sub.2 being 2.00 inches .+-.0.56 inches, the distance between V.sub.2 and V.sub.4 being 3.5 inches .+-.1.00 inch.
