Add gel
After you receive a treatment to correct an abnormal rhythm, you may
see this message telling you to add gel.
Follow the instructions below to add gel.
While you’re wearing the LifeVest, tap the help button for reminders
about what to do.
Tap OK to resume normal monitoring.
To add gel
1 Remove the battery from the monitor, then remove the electrode belt and
garment from your body.
2 Locate the packets of gel you got with the LifeVest system. Add one-half
packet of gel to each therapy pad, directly onto the mesh material of each
pocket. Apply to the rear pads and the front pad (but not to the ECG
electrodes.)
3 Put on the electrode belt and garment. Refer to section 4.
4 Put the battery into the monitor and follow the normal startup routine.
