An array of electrodes is constructed to allow the user to easily adjust to the correct size of the patient's head. The array is self-adhesive, pre-gelled and disposable. The array fits easily over the temple and forehead areas where EEG signals can be acquired by specially designed monitors for purposes of monitoring a number of bodily phenomena, including but not limited to, depth of anesthesia, and/or ischemia, and burst suppression. The array is connected to the monitor via a tab connector that is integral to the disposable device. The tab connector is insertible into a reusable connector that is part of a monitoring system.

Electrode array system for measuring electrophysiological signals

A hand-held monitor (10) for monitoring environmental or physiological conditions affecting the user. The monitor (10) has a main housing (10a) and a sensor module (10b). The sensor module (10b) has a plurality of sensors (33-36) extending from it. The sensor module (10b) is generally cylindrical in shape and rests in a curved cradle (14c) of the main housing (10a). This permits the sensor module (10b) to rotate between a position in which the sensors are deployed and extend outwardly from the main housing (10a), and a position in which the sensors rest in the main housing (10a). The main housing (10a) contains processor-based electronics circuitry (50) for processing the data acquired by the sensors. The sensor module (10b) contains sensor electronics circuitry (60), including all circuitry unique to the sensors, and is easily detachable from the main housing (10a). This permits sensor modules having the same or different sensors to be easily interchanged.
