Step 6: Wrap the Electrode Belt Around the Child.
•
Wrap the belt around the child’s chest and fasten it with the
Velcro tab.
The belt should be snug enough so that you can only insert two of your fingers (with your hand lying flat
against the child) between the belt and the child.
NOTE:
For newborns and very small babies, you may need to shorten the belt by cutting off a part of the end. Be sure to leave
enough room to fasten the belt securely.
WARNING: Route the lead wires downward to avoid strangulation.
NOTE:
Remove the electrode belt and the lead wires when your child is not being monitored. Long-term wear may be
uncomfortable.
These steps describe only one method for electrode placement and positioning. Your home care provider may
show you another method.
