ABSTRACT:
The telephonic pacemaker monitoring device of the present invention eliminates the need for external electrodes that wrap around the fingers or wrists, or make contact with the skin on the chest. The monitoring unit has four finger touchpads and a communications station including a transmitter and a visual display located on the face of the device. The monitoring device also has a feedback system which enables the operator at the receiving center to immediately notify the patient via the visual display if a proper transmission or a faulty transmission is occurring. The feedback system and the visual display also enable the operator at the receiving center to notify the patient if increased finger pressure on the touchpads is needed or if the telephone handset should be picked-up for verbal communication. This feedback system and visual display eliminate the delay in notifying the patient that a faulty transmission has occurred. The present unit can also be used as a portable single channel telephonic EKG monitor which can be used by ambulances, paramedics, and other trained personnel at public gatherings.
