USING ECG ELECTRODES
The ECG electrodes are required for operating the Responder 2000 in external demand pacing mode, ECG Monitoring
mode, and during Semi-Auto mode..
In order to ensure proper demand pacing, the Responder 2000 requires a high quality surface ECG signal between the
patient’s skin surface and the ECG electrode. Standard 3-lead or 5-lead configuration is used to monitor the patient’s
electrocardiogram.
NOTE: The skin is a poor conductor of electricity, therefore preparation of the patient’s skin is important to
facilitate good electrode to skin contact. When cleaning the patient’s skin, NEVER use alcohol or tincture of
benzoin, as this increases skin resistance.
APPLYING ECG MONITORING ELECTRODES
1. Attach the ECG patient cable lead wires to the ECG electrodes. The lead wires are color coded according to AHA or
IEC standards.
2. Plug the ECG patient cable into the ECG input connector (green) located on the front panel of the Responder 2000.
3. Prepare the patient’s skin according to the Patient Preparation section in this manual.
4. Peel the backing off the electrodes and press the electrodes firmly onto the patient’s skin.
