3.4 Sensor Placement and Connection

3.4.1 ECG Cable Connection

ECG measurement is to collect the ECG signal via the ECG electrodes. Electrode connects the patient and the lead.
The lead connects the monitor. The locations of the electrodes are very important for obtaining accurate ECG
signals.
1. Connect the cable to the right-panel connector marked with the ECG icon.
2. Select electrodes to be used. Use only one type of electrode on the same patient to avoid variations in
electrical resistance. For ECG monitoring, it is strongly recommended to use silver/silver chloride
electrodes. When dissimilar metals are used for different electrodes, the electrodes may be subject to
large offset potentials due to polarization. Using dissimilar metals may also increase recovery time after
defibrillation.
3. Prepare the electrode sites according to the electrode manufacturer's instructions.
4. Skin clean
Clean and dry-abrade skin to ensure low sensor impedance. Mild soap and Water is recommended as
Ø
a skin cleanser.
Note: Alcohol is not recommended as a skin cleanser; it leaves a film layer that may cause high
sensor impedance. If alcohol is used, ensure 30-second dry time.
Dry-abrading the skin gently with a dry wash cloth, gauze, or skin preparation product is helpful to
Ø
remove the non-conductive skin layer.
The symbol indicates that the cable accessories are designed to have special protection against
electric shocks, and is defibrillator proof.
The locations of the electrode are in the following Figure:
Note: If skin rash or other unusual symptoms develop, remove electrodes from patient.
5. After starting the monitor, if the electrodes become loose or disconnected during monitoring, the system
will display "LEAD OFF" on the screen to alarm the operator.
