6-17
6-Wire
Placement
6-lead placement uses the same four limb leads as 5-lead standard placement,
and two precordial leads - referred to at the Information Center as Va and Vb.
The default position of Va - the brown lead - is at the V2 position.
The default position for Vb - the brown/white lead - is at the V5 position.
The lead placement for the Va and Vb lead labels must be appropriate. If your
unit uses other precordial leads for Va and Vb, they may be assigned in Unit
Settings as defaults for your whole unit, or you may need to assign the new
positions on a per-patient basis in the Patient Window at the Information Center
(see “Telemetry Controls in the Patient Window” on page 9-2).
