ABSTRACT:
An electrode and carrier assembly is disclosed for attachment to a biological subject, such as a fetus during labor and delivery to monitor the fetal heart rate. The electrode structure includes a clip-like body having clamping portions and members adapted to engage cam surfaces within a carrier. While the electrode structure is housed within the carrier the clamping portions are held apart. Attachment is accomplished by placing the carrier against the subject and moving the members into engagement with the cam surfaces, whereby the cam surfaces eject the electrode structure from the carrier by the cam action thus allowing the clamping portions thereof to clamp onto the subject's skin. The carrier may then be removed completely, leaving only the electrode structure with its associated wiring.
