Risk of injury due to air/moisture between ECG electrodes and
the patient's skin!
Air (e.g. in the case of hirsute patients) or moisture between the
ECG electrodes and the patient's skin impair the quality of the
ECG signal and falsify the measurement results. This can injure the
patient.
⇒ Remove hair in hirsute patients.
⇒ Rub the patient's skin dry.
⇒ Wipe down oily skin with an alcohol pad.
3. If necessary: Remove hair from the torso.
4. If necessary: Rub damp spots on the torso dry.
5. If necessary: Wipe down oily skin with an alcohol pad.
6. Remove the protective backing from the ECG electrodes.
Risk of injury from incorrect positioning of the ECG
electrodes!
Incorrectly positioned ECG electrodes impair the quality of the
ECG signal and falsify measurements.
⇒ Select the electrode position according to the illustration.
⇒ Position the ECG electrodes so that defibrillation is possible.
⇒ Maintain distance from the defibrillation electrodes.
⇒ Do not position ECG electrodes on tendons or muscle groups.
