Belt Strap Assembly

Belt Strap Assembly
1. Take the end of the strap (ensuring there are no twists present), thread the strap via strap
holders of the 1200W.
2. Take the end of the strap and the end of the buckle with center bar and then thread the strap
from the bottom side of the buckle up between the main body of the buckle and the innermost
side of the center bar.
3. Pass the strap over the top side of the bar, and thread it back down between the inner bar and
the outermost bar. This is the end of the buckle that allows you to adjust the length of the
strap if needed.

Electrode Application

Many ECG adhesive electrodes are suitable for use. As ECG electrodes from different manufacturers have
different electrical properties, the choice of ECG electrodes can considerably affect the measurement
results and quality. Ensure that only high-quality electrodes are used.
Wet gel electrodes are recommended.
Always refer to the ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000 Standard for safety, performance, and labeling requirements for
the disposable electrodes, and guidelines for reliable patient connections.
NOTE
Prepare the patient's skin prior to applying the electrodes. Skin is a poor conductor of electricity, so skin
preparation is important in achieving good electrode-to-skin contact.
• If necessary, clip hair at the electrode sites (or shave sites, if needed).
• Clean and abrade the skin at the electrode sites to remove oil and dead skin.
•
Wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.
• Dry the electrode placement sites.
