Skin Preparation
Skin preparation and ECG electrode placement directly impact the quality of the ECG signal and HR
determinations. Follow your facility’s protocol for skin preparation.
Note: To avoid skin irritation, avoid areas that appear damaged; remove ECG electrodes if the
patient complains of pain/itching; replace ECG electrodes per the electrode manufacturer’s
instructions and place on different sites.
Note: Only use snap-on type electrodes.
Use all of the same type of high quality ECG electrodes on the patient.
Mixing ECG electrode types can adversely affect ECG monitoring.

recommended or supplied by Sotera Wireless, Inc. Accessories must
always be used in accordance with your facility’s policies and the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
