6.2.3 Preparing ECG Monitoring
The ECG can be recorded with the following cables:
• 4-pole ECG monitoring cable,
(for leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL and aVF)
• complementary 6-pole diagnostic cable,
(for leads V1 to V6) as a supplement to ECG monitoring (for positioning
of ECG electrodes C1 to C6, see chapter 6.3.2 Preparing the Patient for
a D-ECG, page 103)
The quality of the ECG recordings also depends on the ECG electrodes used:
• Only use ECG electrodes indicated in the list of approved accessories
(see chapter 9.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables,
p. 224).
• Do not use ECG electrodes whose expiry date indicated on the
packaging has passed.
• Only use ECG electrodes of the same type that originate from an
identical production process (batch).
Warning
The ECG function is compromised if adhesion of the electrodes is impaired
due to contaminated skin or excessive hair.
Prerequisite: the device must be switched on.
1. Remove excessive hair on the thorax so that the conductive surface of the
corPatch electrodes has full contact with the skin.
2. Clean the skin on the thorax before applying the ECG electrodes if
necessary.
3. Attach the ECG electrodes to the ECG monitoring cable.
4. Place all four ECG electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient:
• Red ECG electrode: right arm;
shortened: under the right clavicle (Fig. 6-2, item 1)
• Yellow ECG electrode: left arm;
shortened: under the left clavicle (Fig. 6-2, item 2)
• Green ECG electrode: left leg;
shortened: in the area of the left inguinal fold,
central to the axis of the leg (Fig. 6-2, item 3)
• Black ECG electrode: right leg;
shortened: under the right costal arch (Fig. 6-2, item 4)
