2-1. Preparing for Measurement
Attaching the ECG clips
Caution
Notes:
• There are different clips for the right and left arms. Do not use the wrong clip.
• As a basic rule, the ECG clips are to be attached to both wrists of the patient. If the ECG signal
is weak and measurement is difficult on the patient's wrists, attach the clip for the left wrist to
the instep of the left foot (secondary induction).
• If the patient uses a pacemaker, the R wave may not be correctly detected and measurement
will not be possible.
• If the patient has an irregular pulse and a regular pulse wave cannot be obtained, accurate
measurement will not be possible.
When necessary, wipe the application site with diluted antiseptic alcohol or a similar product.
1.
Prepare three ECG clip electrodes (supplies).
2.
Press the side buttons (1) on both sides of the ECG
clip for the left wrist, and insert two ECG clip
electrodes (2) into the holes in the clip.
3.
Insert one ECG clip electrode in the ECG clip for the right wrist in the same way.
4.
Remove all protective sheets (3) from the ECG clip
electrodes.
5.
Attach the ECG clip for the right wrist.
Attach the clip so that the electrode is on the inner side
of the wrist.

•The ECG clip electrodes are disposable supplies. Do not reuse them once they are
removed. In case that they are used on moist, injured or infected skin, dispose them right
away. Otherwise an infection may result.
•Do not use a worn or expired ECG clip electrode. Otherwise incorrect diagnosis and
treatment may result.
(ECG clip electrode have an expiry date. After the expiry date, the electrode becomes
dry and incapable of accurate measurement. Use only an electrode whose indicated
expiry date has not passed. Refer to page 12 for how to confirm the expiry date.)
