Warning Please ensure all electrode slices are connected to correct position of the subject's body. Avoid the electrode slices (including neutral electrode slices) and subject from contacting any other conductive parts or the ground. Warning Before using the device, please check if the device, lead wires and electrode slices exist any damage that may affect the safety of subjects.
Page 12
Caution Please read the relevant operation in this manual. Incorrect operation will result in the loss of all ECG data. Caution Please disconnect the lead wire from the subject during defibrillation. Caution When the subject is wearing a cardiac pacemaker during the recording, it may generate false positive or negative pacing recording results.
Page 13
Caution Please use a compatible SD card confirmed by the manufacturer. The use of a SD card unconfirmed by the manufacturer may result in abnormal record or incomplete record. Please contact the manufacturer for SD card replacement. Caution If the operator ignores the low battery alarm and continues to start recording, Holter Recorder may not record the data for 24 hours.
TH3 can continuously record 8-lead ECG data for 24 hours. And TH12 can continuously record 12-lead ECG data for 24 hours. Both TH3 and TH12 Holter Recorders are powered by an AAA battery (1.5V, 700mAh), SD card is used as a memory medium,...

Chapter 4 Recording Preparation 4.1 Battery Selection Please install a new alkaline battery into Holter Recorder. The recording time of tested battery is as follows: Battery Type Recording Time AAA alkaline battery (1.5V, 700mAh) 24 hours Warning Incorrect replacement of batteries leads to an unacceptable risk. Caution Do not use rechargeable batteries to avoid danger.
Page 21
Caution Please use a compatible SD card confirmed by the manufacturer. The use of SD card unconfirmed by the manufacturer may result in abnormal record or incomplete record. Please contact the manufacturer for SD card replacement. Caution Please confirm the SD card is unlocked if it has a lock switch. Otherwise, the subject waveform information cannot be recorded.
Caution When the system detects the battery level is too low to supply the Replace new battery! device for operation, the system prompts that " " (as shown in the figure below) before allowing any other operation. 4.3 Electrode Slice Placement 4.3.1 Electrode Slice Usage Fasten the disposable electrode slice into the electrode joint of lead wire.
Note The correct pretreatment of the subject’s skin is essential to obtain a good ECG record. Please refer to the electrode slices manufacturer's instruction for skin pretreatment technology. Note Please use ECG electrode slices specially used for long-distance recording Holter Recorder, and the ECG electrode slices should be equipped with a valid registration certificate for medical appliance.

8-lead Electrode Slices (6 Lead Wires) Placement Place 6 lead wires in different colors on the human body in accordance with the corresponding position for 8-lead ECG recording. The following diagram shows the typical position of electrode slices placement. You can also refer to the position recommended by the analysis system and physician for electrode slices placement.
4.3.3 Electrode Slice Replacement Before recording, wipe the corresponding skin of human body, fasten the button between the electrode slice and lead wire. Tear down the protective plastic film and paste the electrode slice on the corresponding position of human body. After the recording ends, remove the whole electrode slice from the human body.
Chapter 5 ECG Recording 5.1 Start ECG Recording Caution Every time the ECG recording is started, Holter Recorder will automatically format the SD card. Before start ECG recording, please ensure data in the SD card have been safely transferred to ECG analysis system.
Please wait for the system to complete the SD card formatting automatically. After formatting, the system will automatically access the waveform interface. Put the Holter Recorder into a leather case and wear it with the belt or shoulder strap. Caution Holter Recorder will automatically format the SD card and start ECG recording with default ID after the leads and electrodes have been correctly connected to the subject’s body for 3 minutes.
