SE-1010 PC ECG User Manual Preparations Before Operation

♦
Attach the disposable electrode to the electrode area at the back midline.
The quality of ECG waveform will be affected by the contact resistance between the patient and
the electrode. In order to get a high-quality ECG, the skin-electrode resistance must be minimized
while connecting electrodes.
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. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
5.5 Attaching Electrodes to the Patient (for Exercise ECG)
The identifiers and color codes of electrodes used comply with IEC/EN requirements. In order to
avoid incorrect connections, the electrode identifiers and color codes are specified in Table 5-2.
Moreover the equivalent codes according to American requirements are given in Table 5-2 too.
