ABSTRACT:
An adjustable probe belt assembly is disclosed for quickly hooking up different size patients to an electrocardiograph. The assembly has a weighted strip of material or "probe belt" that fits against a patient's chest, wherein the belt carries a set of eccentrically mounted electrodes that can be rotated so that their patient-contacting surfaces can be adjusted to fit the chest size of the particular patient.
The probe belt is preferably made of a disposable or washable material and the electrodes are especially designed so that they can be easily popped out or removed for disposability or cleaning of the belt. The electrodes can then be cleaned and snapped back into a fresh belt, which insures that the entire assembly will be sterile for the next patient's use.
