settings.
8.3 Monitor Setup
8.3.1 Prepare Skin
Skin is considered a poor conductor. Therefore, to achieve good contact between electrodes and skin it is very
important to prepare the patient’s skin:
1) Choose a skin area without any damage or abnormality.
2) When necessary, shave body hair at positions where electrodes will be placed.
3) Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the skin. (Do not use diethyl ether or pure alcohol because these
substances may increase the skin impedance).
4) Dry the skin completely.
Use ECG preparation paper and gently rub the skin to improve the conductivity at the position where the electrode
is attached.
8.3.2 Connect the ECG Cable
1) Place the electrode on the patient’s body. If the electrode do not contain conductive paste, apply conductive
paste prior to placement on the skin.
2) Connect the electrode leads with the patient cable.
3) Insert the patient cable into the ECG port on the monitor. The monitor shows the ECG wave and value.
WARNING
 Do not use electrodes of different metal materials.
 Please do not mix different types and brands of electrodes. Mixing electrodes may lead to large baseline
drift or prolonged recovery time after defibrillation.
 Check whether the ECG electrode patch can irritate skin every day. If there is any sign of allergy, replace
the electrode or change its position.
 Use the electrode immediately after opening the package.
