3.4 Electrodes Connection
Please ensure that all the electrodes are attached to the correct
positions on the patient body. Do not allow the electrodes (including
neutral electrodes) and patients to contact any other conductive parts
or the ground.
The contact resistance between the patient and electrodes exerts great influence on
the quality of ECG; therefore the contact resistance should be minimized to obtain
better ECG.
The identifiers and color codes are different according to different standards. The
identifiers and color codes of European standard and American standard are shown
in the table below.
