Paediatric Placement
When acquiring a paediatric ECG, an alternative to the standard V3 (C3) placement may be used. Place
the sensor in the V4R (C4R) position, on the right side of the chest in a position corresponding to V4
(C4).
•
If this placement is used [
V4R Position
] should be selected in the [
Patient Info
] menu for correct
lead-wire labelling. Please see
Section 8: Patient Demographics
.
Applying Electrodes
1.
Ensure disposable electrodes are in date and have been stored inside the packet to avoid the
drying out of conductive gel.
2.
Place the electrodes on the sites as shown above. To obtain a high-quality ECG signal, make sure
that the electrodes firmly contact the skin.
3.
Route the lead wires to avoid twisting. Connect the lead wires with the electrodes.
4.
Make sure the patient cable is tightly connected to the device and electrodes are correctly
connected with the lead wires.
•
When placing the chest electrodes, ensure that the electrodes do not touch each other and
conductive gel from one site does not touch another site.
•
Limb electrodes should be placed on fleshy areas above the inside wrists and ankles, not on the
bone.
Lead Off
The system will prompt “Lead Off” when electrodes are detached, any of the lead wires are poorly
connected with the electrode, or the patient cable becomes detached from the device.
•
When any of the limb electrodes or leads are detached, excluding the right leg (N/RL) electrode,
the system will respectively prompt “LA Lead Off”, “LL Lead Off”, or “RA Lead Off”.
•
When any of the chest electrodes or leads are detached the system will respectively prompt “V(X)
Lead Off”, in where (X) represents lead 1-6.
•
When the right leg (N/RL) electrode or lead is detached, two or more limb leads are detached
together, or the patient cable detaches from the equipment, the system will prompt “Limb Lead
Off”.
