Biopotential Leads
- Two silicon coated helices of medical grade stainless steel wire
extending out of the device body. The positive (red) lead is designed to be cut to a length
suitable for the biopotential signal to be monitored. The negative (clear) lead has a solid tip
and is NOT meant to be cut (unless you require traditional lead placement). It is designed
to be introduced into the right jugular vein and fed into the cranial vena cava to collect the
ECG signal.
Silicone tubing: provides insulation from external electrical activity.
Solid tip on the negative lead: senses ECG signal within the vena cava
, near the
base of the heart.
