Disposable Self Adhesive Electrodes
Follow the steps below if you are using disposable electrodes.
Attach lead wire to the Self Adhesive Electrodes if not pre-attached.
Ensure the infant’s skin is clean and dry.
Place the electrode with the
white lead wire on the baby’s right side, along the mid-line of the side,
two finger widths below or lined up with nipples.
Place the electrode with the black lead wire on the baby’s left side, along the mid-line of the side, two
finger widths below or lined up with nipples.
An electrode belt is not needed when using disposable electrodes
Use of the third (green - RL) electrode and lead wire is normally not required, but may help
reduce EMI interference. Place the green electrode along the outside of baby’s upper thigh.
Do not use oils, lotion, or powder on the area of skin that the electrodes will be placed.
