Attaching the antennas to the patient
Make sure that the antenna pads are attached firmly to the
antenna lead cover, and that the antenna lead cover are
attached firmly to the patient. Otherwise, noise may appear in
the images, or the images may not be transmitted properly.
1. Dry the patient’s body by wiping with a dry piece of gauze.
2. Place the antenna pads on the patient so that their numbering matches the
Antenna Locations Guide (see Figure 5.26). Starting with antenna pad ,
remove the lining paper on the back of the antenna lead cover by peeling
from the point indicated by the arrow (see Figure 5.30), and then press
down firmly on the antenna pad to attach it to the patient.

3. Ask the patient to get off the bed, to move around slowly, then sit on the bed
again. While making sure that all antennas are securely attached, have the
patient check for any skin discomfort caused by the attached antennas. If
the patient experiences discomfort, replace the antenna lead cover with a
spare, and reattach the antenna.
• Once used, the antenna lead cover loses adhesion. Please
replace the antenna lead cover if reattaching the antenna.
