Abstract

A base plate for an ostomy system includes a monitor interface having a plurality of terminals for electrical coupling of a monitor device to the base plate and a coupling part to attach the base plate to the monitor device.

Claims (21)

1. A base plate for an ostomy system, the base plate comprising:

a monitor interface including:

a plurality of terminals configured to electrically couple the base plate to a monitor device of the ostomy system, and

a coupling part configured to releasably and structurally couple the base plate to the monitor device.

2. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the coupling part comprises a rim and a base, with the base secured to the base plate and the rim projecting in a radial direction away from the base and the base plate;

wherein the plurality of terminals is electrically exposed on a perimeter of the rim.

3. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the coupling part comprises a rim and a base, with the base secured to the base plate and the rim projecting in a radial direction away from the base and the base plate;

wherein the rim further comprises an alignment member configured to guide the monitor device from an attachment position to a secured position with the coupling part.

4. The base plate of claim 3 , wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling.

5. The base plate of claim 3 , wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling formed on an outer surface of the rim.

6. The base plate of claim 3 , wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling comprising a channel adapted for rotational coupling of the monitor device to the coupling part.

7. The base plate of claim 3 , wherein the alignment member is a threaded coupling comprising a channel, and the channel includes an entry opening adjacent a distal end of the rim and a stop adjacent the base.

8. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the coupling part comprises a rim and a base, with the base secured to the base plate and the rim extending distal relative to the base and the base plate, with the base plate further comprising a waterproofing element disposed at a location where the rim meets the base.

9. The base plate of claim 8 , wherein the waterproofing element is a ring disposed around the rim at the location where the rim meets the base.

10. The base plate of claim 8 , wherein the waterproofing element is formed from one of rubber, polyurethane, and silicone material.

11. The base plate of claim 8 , wherein the waterproofing element is releasably attached to the base plate.

12. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the coupling part comprises a magnet adapted to couple with a magnetic element of the monitor device.

13. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the base plate further comprises a first adhesive layer adapted to adhere the base plate to skin of a user and the plurality of terminals is coupled to the first adhesive layer.

14. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the coupling part is adapted to form a releasable mechanical and electrical coupling with the monitor device.

15. The base plate of claim 1 , wherein the base plate comprises a first adhesive layer adapted to adhere the base plate to skin of a user and the plurality of terminals is provided in an electrode assembly that is coupled to the first adhesive layer.

16. The base plate according to claim 1 , wherein, when the monitor device is connected to the coupling part, the monitor device is adapted to collect ostomy data from the base plate.
