To monitor the heart rhythm and heart
rate, place all 4 ECG electrodes of the
4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient:
• Red ECG electrode: right arm (item 1)
• Yellow ECG electrode: left arm (item 2)
• Green ECG electrode: left leg (item 3)
• Black ECG electrode: right leg (item 4)
For a full diagnostic ECG, additionally
place all 6 ECG electrodes of the ECG
diagnostic cable on the patient’s thorax:
• Red V1 ECG electrode (item 1)
