Applying the electrodes
METRAX GmbH
DefiMonitor XD 21324 / GB / K05
59 / 116
The anterior-posterior position offers the advantage that the intensity of the stimulation
required is often lower, which means that the chest muscles are subjected to less stimulation.
If the anterior-posterior position is contraindicated (e.g. if ventricular fibrillation is expected to
occur), the anterior - anterior position can be used as an alternative.
The positions correspond to those of the self-adhesive electrodes for defibrillation.
Position
Anterior
Green (F) ( - )
corresponding apex position, left side of chest,
above the apex of the heart on the axillary line
Anterior
Red (R) ( + )
corresponding sternum position, right side of chest
below the clavicle
Note
Pacing is only advisable and possible in manual mode with self-adhesive electrodes
DANGER
It is important to attach the self-adhesive electrodes in the following
order to avoid danger to the user as a result of the stimulation pulse:
1. First, connect the SavePads Connect cable with the electrode clip
to the self-adhesive electrodes placed on the patient. To do this,
open the locking lever on the clip and insert the metal-plated
connection tab into the slit in the electrode clip
2. Snap the upper part of the clip back in place to fix the connection.
3. Observe the colour marking showing the polarity of the electrode
chips when attaching them to the respective electrodes
4. Connect the cable with the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD.
Note
If it should become necessary during pacing to defibrillate the patient, defibrillation
can be carried out via the self-adhesive electrodes. Make sure the electrodes are
correctly positioned for defibrillation.
DANGER
Adults must only be paced with the appropriate self-adhesive electrodes
for adults, children only with smaller, child-sized self-adhesive electrodes.
Always use original PRIMEDIC™ SavePads (Connect).
