8.3.3 Monitor HR with Electrode Sleeve
Principle Introduction
The HR monitoring is based on the obtaining of ECG signal on the abdomen. The three meal
electrodes of MECG-R electrode sleeve correspond to lead L, N and R of the ECG leads. As the
electrodes are near to each other and the obtained ECG signal amplitude is small and vulnerable to
interference, it’s necessary to make sure good contact between the electrodes and the skin so as to
get a continuous and accurate monitoring result.

Monitoring Procedures
1) Confirm that the electrode sleeve is properly installed
Insert the transducer into the electrode sleeve per below picture and ensure that the interface is in
good contact. When the bottom of the wireless transducer screen displays TOCO/MECG, it indicates
that it has been installed correctly. The wired transducer can be viewed through the top area of ECG
waveform display area. When “ECG (X1)” is displayed, it indicates that it has been correctly installed.

2) Determine the transducer position
Refer to the recommended position in TOCO Monitoring, and select the upper, flat area as much as
possible, ensure good contact between the three metal electrodes. The skin is a poor conductor of
electricity; therefore preparation of the patient's skin is important to facilitate good electrode contact to
skin.
Wash the sites thoroughly with hospital alcohol, wet tissues and soap water. (Do not use ether or
pure alcohol, which will increase skin impedance)
Avoid using conductive substance that is easy to leave residual such as conductive paste to
prepare the skin.
3) Obtain ECG signals
Place the transducer interface end up on the above selected position and set the monitor ECG gain to
