For typical implantation:
• ECG Electrode LL should be placed in a lateral location, at the
5th intercostal space along the midaxillary line to represent the
intended location of the implanted pulse generator.
• ECG Electrode LA should be placed 1 cm left lateral of the xiphoid
midline to represent the intended location of the proximal sensing
electrode of the implanted subcutaneous electrode.
• ECG Electrode RA should be placed 14 cm superior to the ECG
Electrode LA, to represent the intended position of the distal
sensing tip of the implanted subcutaneous electrode.
▪ Measure 14 cm using Model 4744 Patient Screening Tool or
other measuring tool.
• ECG Electrode RL is recommended at the desired location to
serve as the patient reference electrode.
