Attaching Electrodes to the Patient
1. Shave excess hair. With a piece of cotton pad moistened with alcohol, clean the patient’s skin
where the electrodes should be mounted. Avoid wrinkled or uneven skin areas. Wipe off the alcohol
with a dry cotton pad.
2. Open the electrode package and take out the electrode.
3. Remove the backing paper from the electrode. Be careful not to touch the adhesive side.
4. Attach the disposable electrode to the previously cleaned skin. Avoid wrinkled and uneven skin
areas.
5. The electrode lead which is connected to the monitor onto the electrode.
6. Fasten the electrode lead to the skin with surgical tape with an extra length of wire between the
tape and the electrode. This prevents body movement from moving the electrode lead.
Note
 To maintain good contact between the electrode and skin, check that the paste of the
disposable electrode is not dry.
 When contact of the disposable electrode becomes poor, replace the electrode with a new
one immediately. Otherwise, contact impedance between the skin and electrode increase
