Follow the steps below if you are using disposable electrodes.
•
Attach
lead wires to the
Self Adhesive Electrodes if not pre-attached.
•
Ensure that the child’s skin is clean and dry.
•
Place the electrode with the white lead wire on the child’s right side, along the mid-line of the side, two
finger widths below or lined up with the nipples.
•
Place the electrode with the black lead wire on the child’s left side, along the mid-line of the side, two
finger widths below or lined up with the nipples.
•
An electrode belt is not needed with disposable electrodes.
NOTE:
Use of the third (green - RL) electrode and lead wire is normally not required but may help reduce excessive false low heart
rate alarms. Place the green third electrode along the outside of the child’s upper thigh.
WARNING:
Do not use oils, lotion or powder on the area of skin on which the electrodes will be placed. A false reading may
result.
