Eclipse Operating Instructions
Preparing the Skin
Refer to the "Resting ECG Lead Placement & Coding Chart" on pg. 5-3 for details on
where sensor sites are located.
NOTE: For information on alternate chest lead and other lead
placements, see "Alternative Lead Placements" on pg. 5-7.
If the patient has oily or sweaty skin, or has recently applied lotion to their skin, clean
the sensor sites with warm, soapy water. Allow the sensor sites to dry completely before
applying sensors.
When applying sensors to sites with a lot of hair, the following techniques may improve
contact:
1. Use the thumb and forefinger to spread the hair before applying the
sensor to the skin.
2. If the sensor does not adhere well, it may be necessary to shave the site.
NOTE: In some cases skin irritation can occur from site preparation
and sensor electrolyte solutions.
Applying Sensors
Apply sensors according to the instructions on the following pages. For information on
using disposable sensors, see "Disposable Resting ECG Sensors" on pg. 5-4. For
information on using reusable sensors, see "Reusable ECG Sensors" on pg. 5-5.
