Recording an ECG
RScribe can acquire single or multiple ECGs in real time, retrospectively, or in a timed sequence.
Prepare the patient for best conductivity between the skin surface and the electrode. Place the electrodes on the
patient according to lead placement guidelines. Ensure that the proper lead wire is firmly and correctly attached to
each electrode.
Select an existing order from the MWL tab, search for the patient from the Patients tab, or manually enter patient
demographics.
