Note: The first intercostals space may be difficult to
palpate due to its proximity to the clavicle.
d. Record External Surface Measurement_______________cm
A.
Attach ECG Patient Hub to the three ECG snap leads.
B.
Prepare and attach ECG adhesive electrodes per the following
steps.
Caution: ECG adhesive electrodes should be applied only to
intact, clean skin (e.g. not over open wounds, lesions, infected
or inflamed areas). For best results use the supplied ECG
adhesive electrodes.
•
Attach ECG adhesive electrodes to all three ECG snap leads.
•
Remove backing and press ECG adhesive electrodes firmly onto
skin at the specified locations.
Warning: Place ECG adhesive electrodes carefully at locations
indicated in these Instructions for Use and ensure good skin-
electrode contact. Failure to do so may cause unstable ECG
waveforms and/or ECG waveforms that are not described in
these Instructions for Use.
•
Remove backing and press ECG adhesive electrodes firmly onto
skin at the specified locations.
•
Black ECG snap lead/adhesive electrode on the patient's left
upper chest.
•
Red ECG snap lead/adhesive electrode on patient's lower left
side, inferior to the umbilicus and laterally along the
mid-axillary line.
Caution: Placement of red electrode outside of this region may
result in reduced ECG performance.
