ABSTRACT:
A belt for securing sensing electrodes to the chest of an infant afflicted with Apnea. The belt comprises an elongated band of fabric of sufficient length to encircle and to be fastened around the chest of the infant. The band has an inner side, an outer side and two ends. A tunnel is disposed on the inner side of the band and is adapted to removably receive and house wires for connecting sensing electrodes to an Apnea monitor. Two ports are disposed at the ends of the tunnel and arranged to allow wires to extend from the band and be connected to the monitor. Another port is disposed centrally of the band and arranged to form a port and allow wires to extend from the band to connect to the sensing electrodes. To fasten the belt to the infant, an interrelatable, two component, adjustable fastener is disposed on each end of the band. One of the two components of the fastener is disposed on the inner side of the band and the other is disposed on the outer side, whereby each component of the fastener can overlap and attach to form an adjustable belt that can be fastened over the back of the infant and provide for disposition of sensing electrodes on the chest of infant.
