optimum electrode placement may vary slightly according to
patient body shape and size. Verify good quality baseline ECG
signals after placing electrodes.
Use only electrodes supplied by CardioNet or ones designed for
longer term monitoring. Proper preparation of the patient’s skin is
absolutely essential for obtaining a quality ECG recording. Refer
to your electrode provider for instructions on proper skin
preparation.
