8.4.2. Applying Electrodes
To connect ECG cables, follow this procedure:
1. Check that electrode packages are intact and not expired. Make sure the
electrode gel is moist. If you are using snap electrodes, attach the snaps to the
electrodes before placing electrodes.
2. Place the electrodes on the prepared sites. Make sure that all electrodes have
good skin contact.
3. Connect the leadwires to the patient cable.
4. Plug the patient cable into the ECG connector.
NOTE
：
Store the electrodes in room temperature.
Open the electrode package immediately prior to use.
Never mix patient electrode types or brands. This may lead to problem due to
impedance difference.
When applying the electrodes, avoid bones close to skin, obvious layers of fat,
and major muscles. Muscle movement can result in electrical interference.
