CardioSens disposable sensors are a more effective alternative to bulbs, plates, straps,
creams, and gels. CardioSens
contamination and infection, while helping to improve diagnostic results.
Disposable sensors should be stored according to the guidelines on the packaging and
should not be used after the expiration date. Never mix sensor types or brands.
Incompatibilities can cause baseline drift and can increase trace recovery time after
defibrillation.
APPLYING LIMB SENSORS
1. Expose the arms and legs.
2. Place sensors firmly on the limb sites. Choose fleshy areas, not ankles
or wrists (see Figure 5-1).
3. Clip leads to the sensors. Leads on arm sensors should point
downward toward feet. Leads on legs should point upward toward
chest.
APPLYING CHEST SENSORS
1. Expose the chest.
2. Locate the 6 V-lead (C-lead) positions on the patient's chest.
3. Apply the sensors.
4. Ensure that the leads conform to body contours and that no strain is
placed on the sensors.
