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 measurement results. This may injure the
patient.
Remove hair from hirsute patients.
Rub the patient's skin dry.
Wipe down oily skin with an alcohol pad.
7. Remove hair from the torso.
8. Rub damp spots on the torso dry.
9. Wipe down oily skin with an alcohol pad.
10. Remove the protective film 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 measurement results.
Select the electrode position according to the illustration.
Position ECG electrodes so that defibrillation/cardioversion is
possible.
Maintain distance from the defibrillation electrodes.
Maintain distance from other ECG electrodes.
Do not position ECG electrodes on tendons or muscle groups.
Do not route individual lines of the ECG cable via ECG
electrodes or other lines.
For female patients: Always position chest wall electrodes V3/
C3 to V6/C6 underneath the breast.
