Dual Channel and Single Channel Electrode Patch Placement
Step 2 - Prepare the Skin
Because the Electrode Patch will be worn for up to seven (7) days, proper skin preparation is
important for the procedure. Good skin preparation means better ECG signal traces that, in
turn, are easier for the doctor to review and evaluate. In order to obtain the best ECG
recording, the following procedure is recommended for initial hookup:
1. Whenever possible, be in an upright sitting position. This may be useful if any setup
problems occur that concern the signal voltage.
2. Following the placement diagram, select sites that are flat. Avoid skin folds or creases,
irritated skin or scar tissue, and highly muscular areas.
3. If necessary, shave an area at the patch site slightly larger than the size of the Electrode
Patch.
4. If powder, lotion, sunblock, etc. has been applied to the chest or if skin is excessively
oily, wash site with plain soap and water. Do not use a soap that contains lotion or oil.
5. Skin-prep pads (found in alcohol prep-pad type packaging) can be used to clean and
prepare skin for initial application.
The above skin prep procedure is only required at the beginning of the procedure, during
Handset initialization. Users will not be required to perform this type of preparation each time
they apply a new Electrode Patch. It is best for users to have freshly showered with plain soap
each time they apply new Electrode Patches (about every 7 days):
