5.4.4 Pediatric Electrode Placement
When acquiring pediatric ECG, C3 lead
should be placed in C4R position rather
than the site where standard C3 lead is
placed, as shown in right figure.

5.5 Electrode Connection
Plug chest lead wires and limb lead wires respectively into connection holes of the chest
electrode bulbs and limb electrode clamps. Adjust the contact sites to guarantee compact
connection. Pay attention to the electrode placement.
During defibrillation, don’t touch the patient, electrodes, patient cable and lead
terminals. Otherwise it may lead to serious injury or death.
For a patient with pacemaker, ECG machine may interpret and record the
pacemaker pulse as the QRS complex wave. Please inspect the ECG
waveform carefully recorded by ECG machine.
For a patient with pacemaker, PACE detection should be activated when
setting the machine. Please refer to Section 4.2.2 for details.
Please verify that all electrodes are connected to the correct points on the
patient body. Prevent the electrodes (including neutral electrodes) and the
patient from contacting the ground or any other electric conductors.
As with all medical equipment, pls clear the patient cabling up carefully to
reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation.
Suction balls of chest electrodes contain natural rubber, which may cause
allergy. Please pay great attention to the skin placed with electrodes, if allergy
