Attaching Electrodes to the Patient and Connecting the Electrode Leads to
Disposable Electrodes
Prepare the Patient Skin
Shave off excessive body hair.
To reduce skin impedance, clean the electrode site with cream or with a cotton pad moistened
with alcohol. Thoroughly dry the skin with a clean cotton pad.

NOTE

• For a patient with frequent body movement, rub the sites with Skinpure skin

preparation gel. However, do not use Skinpure skin preparation gel on
sensitive skin.

• Do not place electrodes on a wound or on an inflamed, wrinkled or uneven skin

surface.

Attaching Electrodes to the Patient

CAUTION

Do not reuse disposable items.

NOTE

• To maintain good contact between the electrode and skin, check that the paste

of the disposable electrode is not dry.

• When contact between the disposable electrode and skin becomes poor,

replace electrodes with new ones immediately. Otherwise, contact impedance
between the skin and the electrode increases and the correct ECG cannot be
obtained.

Refer to the electrode operator’s manual for details.

Carefully remove the backing paper from the electrode.
Avoid touching the adhesive surface.

Place the electrode on the previously cleaned skin.
Pay attention to the electrode lead color and symbol.

Clip the electrode lead to the electrode.

Fasten the electrode lead wire with surgical tape with
an extra length of wire between the tape and the
electrode. This lessens the movement of electrode
leads by body movement and helps stable monitoring.
