NOTE
For telemetry monitoring, any two precordial electrodes may be placed according
to the clinician or physician’s preference.
5-leadwire electrode placement
The following is a suggested configuration for a 5-leadwire electrode placement:
633B, 634B
Right arm and left arm electrodes should be placed just below the right and left
clavicle.
Right leg and left leg electrodes should be placed on a non-muscular surface on the
lower edge of the rib cage.
The precordial electrode should be placed according to the clinician or physician’s
preference.
3-leadwire electrode placement
WARNING
Do not monitor pacemaker patients with a 3-leadwire set when
reliable pacer detection is required. Pacer pulse detection can be
erratic when only a single vector is monitored. Always use a 5- or 6-
leadwire set when reliable pacer detection is required.
