—

 To ensure the device remains in good working order, keep the electrodes clean. 

Disinfect the electrodes by wiping them with a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened 
with disinfectant alcohol. 

4.2  Measurement Methods: 

There are three ways to record an ECG using this device; palm measurement, chest 
measurement and cable measurement. 

The ideal posture for any of the methods listed above is to be seated comfortably with 
your back straight. You can also take a measurement while you are standing or while
