Limb Electrode Connection:
1) Ensure that the electrodes are clean;
2) Align all lead wires of the patient cable to avoid twisting, and connect the lead wires to
the corresponding electrodes according to the colors and the identifiers;
3) Clean the electrode area which is a short distance above the ankle or the wrist with
alcohol;
4) Daub the electrode area on the limb with gel evenly;
5) Place a small amount of gel on the metal part of the limb electrode clamp;
6) Connect the electrode to the limb, and make sure that the metal part is placed on the
electrode area above the ankle or the wrist;
7) Attach all limb electrodes in the same way.
WARNING
1. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
2. Make sure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors,
including neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting
objects.
3. Electrodes with defibrillator protection should be used while defibrillating. To avoid a
polarization or DC offset voltage, use non-polarizing electrodes (which will not form a
DC offset voltage when subjected to a DC current) such as silver/silver-chloride types
if there is a situation where there is a likelihood that a defibrillation procedure will be
necessary.
4. Do not touch the patient, bed, table or the equipment while using the ECG together
with a defibrillator.
