4. Mark each electrode site with a felt tip pen. This provides an easy
way to determine when the epidermis has been sufficiently abraded.
5. Use an abrasive pad to remove the epidermal skin layer at each
electrode site. The epidermal skin layer has been removed when the
mark left from the felt tip pen has been erased.
WARNING
ELECTRODE CONDUCTIVITY — Keep the conductive
parts of lead electrodes and associated parts away from
other conductive parts, including earth.
6. Place an electrode on each prepared site.
Hooking Up the Patient
Complete patient hookup and prepare the patient for ECG data
recording.
NOTE
Use only the 5- or 7-electrode patient cable designed for use with the
recorder.
1. Connect each cable lead wire to the correct patient electrode per the
electrode placement tables.
2. Use stress loops to reduce the movement of the electrodes caused by
tension from the lead wires.
Form a stress loop in each lead wire using an electrode clip as shown
below. This prevents a lead wire from pulling directly on the
electrode contact points. Each loop should be about 1 or 2 inches in
diameter, about 2 inches from the electrode.
3. Secure the electrodes with tape to prevent movement and maintain
electrical contact.
If you are using wet gel electrodes, apply the tape loosely enough so
that no gel squeezes onto the adhesive surfaces of the electrodes.
