WEARING THE CARDIONET SENSOR
The CardioNet sensor uses three electrode pads,
carefully placed on your body to detect heartbeats by
sensing electrical changes on the surface of your skin. The
electrode pads are attached to the sensor by three lead
wires: a white wire, a black wire and a red wire. The lead
wires can be snapped on and off the electrodes. This
allows you to take off the lead wires and attached sensor
before showering – without removing the electrodes.
Sensor with Lead Wires
See Page 36 for more details about
removing your sensor while showering.
If you notice an irritation or a
rash developing where you
place the electrode pads,
please call us. You may need
to use a different type of
electrode pad.
