TM80 Telemetry Monitor Operator’s Manual 7 - 5
7.3.3 Configuring the ECG Lead Labeling
7.3.3.1 Lead Naming Standards
This manual presents lead placement according to the guidelines of the American Heart
Association (AHA) and the International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC).
CAUTION
• Route leadwires neatly. Ensure leadwires are kept away from patient’s
neck to avoid strangulation. Keep floors and walkways free of cables to
reduce risk to hospital personnel, patients and visitors.
NOTE
• It is recommended that the electrodes be changed at least every 24 to
36 hours to maintain proper contact with the skin, although some
patients may require more frequent changing. Do not reapply dispos-
able electrode. Try to avoid reusing the exact same electrode site during
reapplication. If an electrode becomes wet with fluid, change the elec-
trode.
