Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System
Step 5: Position Sensor and ECG electrodes
- Remove the adhesive backing from the sensor holder and lace the sensor directly on the patient’ skin with the adhesive side down. Place the sensor as flat as
possible for best results.
Note: The sensor should be positioned the same for left or right side placements.
- Prepare and attach external ECG electrodes per the following steps:
•
Ensure electrode locations are oil-free and completely dry.
Caution: Electrodes should be applied only to intact, clean skin (e.g., not over open wounds, lesions, infected or inflamed areas).
- Attach electrodes to all lead wires.
- Remove backing and press electrodes firmly onto skin at the specified locations.
• Place
black
electrode on patient’s lower right shoulder.
• Place red lead on patient’s lower left side, inferior to the umbilicus and laterally along the mid-axillary line.
Caution: Placement of red electrode outside of this region may result in reduced ECG performance.
Warning:
Place skin electrodes carefully at locations indicated in these Instructions for Use and ensure good skin-electrode contact. Failure to do so may cause
unstable ECG waveforms and/or ECG waveforms that are not described in these Instructions for Use. In such a case, rely on magnetic navigation and external
measurement for tip positioning and use chest X-ray or fluoroscopy to confirm catheter tip location, as indicated by the institutional guidelines and clinical
judgment.
Caution: Discontinue electrode use immediately, if skin irritation occurs.
Tips:
- Prior to securing the sensor holder to the patient, it may be necessary to clean the skin and remove excess hair.
- Do not move the sensor after it is secure. Best results will be achieved if the patient remains still and the sensor is not placed on open wounds, over bandages,
drapes, gowns or other coverings.
