3. Squeeze out a small amount of Signa gel electrode gel on limb plate as
illustrated. Spread it evenly over the limb plate surface. Apply the
same amount of electrolyte to each sensor.
4. Place sensors firmly on the limb sites. Choose fleshy areas above wrists
and ankles. Position so the limb plate will not press against the body or
table when the patient is relaxed. On arms, the screws should point
downward toward the feet. On legs, the screws should point upward,
toward chest.
5. Without stretching the strap, wrap it around the limb until a hole lines
up with a sensor “ear.” Then stretch the strap and fasten it with the
next hole.
6. Connect the limb leads to the four limb plates.
Applying Welsh bulb chest sensors
1. Connect the 6 Welsh bulb sensors to the V-leads (C-leads) on the
patient cable.
2. Locate the 6 V-lead (C-lead) positions on the patient’s chest (see “Rest-
ing ECG Lead Placement & Coding Chart” on pg. 6-4).
3. Squeeze out a drop of Signa gel electrode gel at each sensor site. Use a
tongue depressor to spread the electrolyte (ensure it does not touch the
electrolyte from another site).
4. Apply the sensors by squeezing the rubber bulb and allowing suction to
hold the sensor in place. Only a small dimple should remain on the
bulb when it is released.
5. Ensure the leads conform to the body contours and no strain is placed
on the sensors.
6. Wipe off any residual electrolyte and check again to ensure electrolyte
from one site does not touch another site.

Caution
Patient skin irritation. Welsh bulb sensors may contain nickel, a material
that can cause skin irritation. Monitor the electrode site and, if irritation
occurs, use an alternate electrode.
