RIGHT HAND
RED LEAD:
Behind the
knuckle of the
middle finger.
BLACK LEAD:
On the wrist
next to the ulna
head.
RIGHT FOOT
RED LEAD:
Behind the 2

toe next to the
big toe.
BLACK LEAD:
On the ankle at
the level of and
between the
medial and
lateral malleoli
(the large
protruding bones
on the sides of
the ankle).
Once the subject is lying in the supine position, ensure that at least 3 to 4
minutes has elapsed before pressing the PROCEED button on the
equipment.
This is to ensure that the fluid levels have stabilized in the body before a
measurement is performed.
