ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
This electrode configuration allows you to obtain the maximal number of independent ECG
channels with the smallest possible number of electrodes.
Place the red electrode (+) over a rib at V5, the brown electrode (+) on the xiphoid muscle at
the bottom of the sternum and the white electrode (common – pole) on the sternum over the
manubrium.
Positioning of electrodes for this configuration is shown in the figure below.

ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The CMV5 lead (+60° axis) detects identifiable P waves and high-amplitude QRS complexes.
It is also acknowledged as being sensitive in detecting myocardial ischemia during exercise
testing. Place the white (-) electrode on the sternum, over the manubrium and the red (+)
electrode over a rib at V5.
The CMAVF2 lead (+90° axis) provides high-amplitude P waves. The black electrode is also
placed on the manubrium as close as possible to the white electrode but not on top of it. The
brown electrode is placed on the xiphoid muscle at the bottom of the sternum.
The ground electrode is placed on a rib on the right side of the chest.
