ECG Limb Lead - improved connector
thingiverse
Human beings rely on ECG machines to monitor patients' heart activity in hospitals, allowing doctors to visually interpret the electrical signals emanating from a patient's heart. To detect these signals, sensors are attached to the patient's ankles and wrists using an ECG limb lead that employs a plastic clamp to securely fasten the sensor to the desired body part. A previous design iteration had been tested in Nepal, where a team of doctors faced challenges with the original ECG limb lead's poor performance. The plastic clamp kept detaching due to a faulty connector between its two halves, which failed to fit correctly. This led to the development of an improved design that ensures a snug and secure connection. The success of this project is attributed to the contributions from Humanitarian Makers members Tho X. Bui and Ross Michaels. Their input played a crucial role in refining the design. Printing specifications: Printer brand: Up! Printer model: Up Plus2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 - 0.3 mm Infill: Solid is recommended Important note: When printing this design, ensure that each layer is oriented as a complete U-shape, as shown in the accompanying image. A minimal amount of support material is required for the parts that 'snap' into place within the plastic clamp's two halves.
