A method and system for wireless ECG monitoring is provided. An electrode
connector, transmitter and receiver operate with existing electrodes and
ECG monitors. The electrode connector includes connectors for attaching
to disposable or reusable single electrodes. The transmitter transmits
the signals from the electrodes to the receiver. The receiver passes the
electrode signals to the ECG monitor for processing. ECG monitors used
with an electrical conductor, for example wire connections to electrodes,
are connected with the receiver, avoiding the purchase of a new monitor.
Any legacy ECG monitor, including different ECG monitors, connects with
the receiver using the ECG monitor's lead-wires. The ECG monitor operates
as if directly connected to the electrodes without the problems discussed
above associated with wires running from the ECG monitor to the patient.
