WARNING
: Conductive parts of electrodes (including the neutral electrode), should not be
put in contact with conductive parts or earthed parts.
CHEST BELT PLACEMENT
Apply the thoracic belt on the patient’s chest to measure the thoracic respiratory effort. The
recommended placement of the thoracic belt is between the axillae (underarms) and above
the lower part of the sternum (xiphoid). Depending on gender, the best results are obtained
when the belt is located above or at the nipple line. If dual connector available, connect the
thoracic sensor to the shortest part of the Y adaptor.
NOTE
: The thoracic belt should be loose enough to stay comfortable and not be too tight; it
should be tight enough to stay in place.
ABDOMINAL BELT PLACEMENT
If available, apply the abdominal belt on the patient’s abdomen to measure the abdominal
respiratory effort. The recommended placement of the abdominal belt is just above the belly
button. Connect the abdominal sensor to the longest part of the Y adaptor.
NOTE
: The abdominal belt should be loose enough to stay comfortable and not be too tight;
it should be tight enough to stay in place.
