Medical Device Evaluation Program.
Abstract
Model IV of the Army Hear Monitor is an electronic device that monitors the electrocardiogram (ECG); sounds an alarm on diagnosing a high or low heart rate, excess electrical noise, cardiac arrest, or ventricular fibrillation. Because of the successful performance of the monitor, a preliminary redesign of the device was made. One objective of this effort was to determine the feasibility of reducing the size such that it could be utilized as a portable unit in both hospital and field application. Another objective was to investigate the implementation of modern electronic components and circuit design so that the device could be easily produced commercially. due to the limited scope of the project the new design was not fabricated and evaluated.
