4.5.3.4 Lead Placement: Standard 5-wire Lead Sets
A 5-wire lead set can monitor seven ECG vectors (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, and V)
simultaneously. The recommended 5-wire lead placement is as follows.

• Place the RA (white) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LA (black) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LL (red) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
• Place the RL (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower right abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
• Place the V (brown) electrode in one of
the V-lead positions (V1 – V6) depicted
in the following section.
• Place the R (red) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the L (yellow) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-
clavicular line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the F (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
• Place the N (black) electrode on the
patient’s lower right abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
• Place the C (white) electrode in one of
the C-lead (C1 – C6) positions depicted
in the following section.
