â– LL placement: on the left lower abdomen.
â– V placement: on the chest in any of the V1 to V6 positions.
For 6-leadwire placement, you can use the position for the 5 -
leadwire placement but with two chest leads. The two chest leads (Va
and Vb) can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. For
more information, see 7.4.4.3Chest Electrode Placement. The Va and
Vb lead positions are configurable. For more information, see

â– V3 placement: midway between the V2 and V4 electrode
positions.
â– V4 placement: on the fifth intercostal space at the left
midclavicular line.
â– V5 placement: on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with
the V4 electrode position.
â– V6 placement: on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position.
â– V3R-V6R placement: on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to those on the left.
