Setting Up ReDS System
41
NOTES:
When adjusting the vest, a standing posture is preferable. If a standing posture is not
possible, then have the patient sit upright in a chair with no backrest or a bed with
his/her feet on the floor.
Adjustment should be done while the patient's shoulders are relaxed and the patient is
upright.
Positioning the front sensor
1
Put the sensor vest on the patient's shoulder so that the red sensor is positioned on the
front-right side of the chest.

Place the sensor vest so that the Positioning Reference Points are vertical and aligned with
the sternum. The upper Positioning Reference Point (Figure 27) is just below the patient’s
suprasternal (Jugular) notch and the bottom Positioning Reference Point rests below the
patient’s breastbone (sternum), as shown below:
