if the electrodes are not electrolyte self-supplied.
4) Connect the cable leads to the electrodes through the
buttons of the electrodes.
Note:
For patients who tremble a lot or patients with
especially weak ECG signals, it might be difficult to
extract the ECG signals, and it is even more difficult to
conduct HR calculation. For severely burnt patients, it
may be impossible to stick the electrodes on and it may
be necessary to use the special pin-shape electrodes. In
case of bad signals, care should be taken to place the
electrodes on the soft portions of the muscle.
Check the irritation caused by each electrode to the
skin, and in case of any inflammations or allergies, the
electrodes should be replaced and the user should
relocate the electrodes every 24 hours or at a shorter
interval.
When the amplifier is saturated or overloaded, the
input signal is medical meaningless, then the
equipment gives an indication on the screen.
